Modern Rocks Gallery is proud to announce a stunning collection of prints from fine art photographer, Blaise Hayward, “Tickets Please”, featuring photographs of original concert tickets stubs.

An avid music fan and admirer of typography and graphic design, Hayward began making Tickets Please in March 2023 after walking by a concert hall and noticing people simply displaying a QR code on their phones to enter the show.

For Hayward, the tickets represent a vanishing analog art form and a nostalgia for an iconic era of rock-n-roll.“I look at these tickets as mini works of art: the font selection, the layout, the color, the copy. All done with careful consideration to detail”. Each stub is a fragment of history—their haphazard tears and distinctive creases emblematic of what is widely considered the golden age of music.

These works are digital pigment prints, printed on Canson rag photographique paper and are accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity. The project is ongoing.

We're thrilled to announce a brand new exhibition at Modern Rocks Gallery, showcasing the evocative and unforgettable work of Pat Pope

Best known for capturing the raw essence of '90s Britpop and alternative rock, Pope’s lens has framed legends like Radiohead, David Bowie, Oasis, Pulp, and Nick Cave, telling the story of an era where music and image collided in explosive, iconic ways. His images don’t just capture musicians — they encapsulate moments, movements, and the mood of an entire generation.

Modern Rocks Gallery in Austin, Texas, is thrilled to announce a new collection of prints from the legendary photographer Art Kane.

This special collection showcases some of his most iconic and rare works, offering art and music lovers a chance to own a piece of photographic history.

Art Kane was more than just a photographer; he was a visionary who captured the essence of his subjects with a dynamic and often surreal perspective. His work in the 1960s and beyond redefined music photography, pushing boundaries with bold compositions, vibrant colors, and an unerring sense of narrative. From jazz legends to rock icons, Kane’s images became synonymous with the cultural revolutions of their time.
