JEFFERSON PARK — Some of rock's biggest superstars will spend their summers in Jefferson Park.
Well, at least their photos will.
"Superstars," a career retrospective of rock photographer Paul Natkin will be on display at the Ed Paschke Art Center, 5415 W. Higgins Ave., through Aug. 2, organizers said.
"Superstars" features more than 20 pictures of legendary musicians, such as Miles Davis, Johnny Cash, Ice Cube and Guns and Roses, as captured by Natkin, an internationally acclaimed photographer.
The exhibition, curated by Natkin, includes both large format, color and black and white photographs of on-stage performances, and black-and-white close-up portraits, organizers said.
Natkin will discuss his career and how he was able to capture some of the most iconic moments in rock history in a series of artists talk scheduled to take place from 5 to 7 p.m. June 27, July 11 and July 25, officials said.
“'Superstars' perfectly embodies our mission to bring the public world class art from Chicago at no cost," said Vesna Stelcer, chairwoman of the Ed Paschke Foundation. "The extension of the exhibition and the upcoming artist talks will give the public an opportunity to experience rock history in a truly unique way."
Natkin's photographs have appeared on dozens of magazine covers, including Newsweek and People,as well as numerous album covers, including Ozzy Osbourne, Alanis Morissette and Buddy Guy.
Natkin was friends with Paschke, an internationally acclaimed artist and Chicago native.
