GAS collaborates with Ono Contemporary art on “Kurt Cobain 50: Grunge in Photos by Michael Lavine”

Following the success of the “David Bowie: Heroes” exhibition, GAS has once again partnered with the Bologna-based art gallery in an exciting project, the photographic exhibition “Kurt Cobain 50: Grunge in photos by Michael Lavine”, the renowned photographer responsible for some of the most iconic images of entertainment celebrities of the past 25 years, and some of the most famous portraits of legendary Nirvana frontman, Kurt Cobain.

To mark the fiftieth anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s birth, the exhibition is designed to celebrate the rise to fame of a band which in just five years secured a place among the all-time rock greats.

The exhibition (13 December 2017– 31 January 2018) draws on Michael Lavine’s impressive archive which immortalizes Nirvana at four different moments in time, from the early days of their career to their worldwide success.

Michael Lavine’s images are the source of a limited edition of 2,000 numbered t-shirts and sweatshirts that blend GAS style with the American artist’s unmistakable grunge look as seen through the sensitive, original eye of the photographer. The images reinterpreted by the company’s creative team and chosen for their strong visual and emotional impact come from a 1993 photo shoot for the American teen magazine, Sassy, and portray an unusually red-headed Kurt Cobain.
