From John Lennon to Johnny Rotten; Muddy Waters to the Rolling Stones; Elvis to Madonna; Bob Dylan to Bob Marley; Tina Turner to Debbie Harry, he has captured the music scene for over forty years in photographs that have gained worldwide recognition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Shortly after John Lennon moved to New York in 1971, Bob became John and Yoko\u2019s personal photographer and friend, making photos of their working life as well as private moments. In 1974 he created the iconic images of John Lennon wearing a New York City t-shirt and, standing in front of the Statue of Liberty making the peace sign &#8211; two of the most popular of Lennon\u2019s images.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Bob has worked with major rock acts such as Led Zeppelin, The Who, David Bowie, Tina Turner, Elton John, Aerosmith, Kiss &amp; Alice Cooper. He toured extensively with the emerging punk and new wave bands including the New York Dolls, Sex Pistols, Clash, Ramones, Patti Smith Group and Blondie. His \u201cSid Vicious with Hot Dog\u201d photo was acquired in 1999 by The National Portrait Gallery, London, for their permanent collection. In June 2004 Bob was presented with MOJO Magazine\u2019s prestigious Honours List Award for Classic Image in London. \u201cAll Dolled Up,\u201d a DVD documentary made by Bob Gruen and Nadya Beck of their early \u201870s video footage of the New York Dolls, was released in 2005.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the spring of 2007 FAAP University in Sao Paulo, Brazil presented an exhibition of Bob Gruen\u2019s work. Titled ROCKERS, the exhibition attracted 40,000 visitors. The ROCKERS exhibition was also shown from April to July 2008 at Morrison Hotel Gallery on the Bowery in New York City. In November 2010 Bob was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. For his many charitable contributions, Bob received the first ever John Lennon Real Love Award in December 2014 at the 32<span class=\"s1\">nd <\/span>Annual John Lennon Tribute Concert.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5162\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5162\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5162 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/C-06_JLennon_Sean_Yoko1975_Gruen.jpg?resize=696%2C467&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"696\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/C-06_JLennon_Sean_Yoko1975_Gruen.jpg?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/C-06_JLennon_Sean_Yoko1975_Gruen.jpg?resize=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/C-06_JLennon_Sean_Yoko1975_Gruen.jpg?resize=624%2C419&amp;ssl=1 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5162\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Lennon, Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon at the Dakota building, NYC.
