Counter-culture movements of the 1960s have been extensively studied throughout history. Haight-Ashbury, widely regarded as the cradle of the revolution, grew from a small neighborhood into an international phenomenon—a concept that extends far beyond its boundaries.
Jim Marshall documented this area visually in a way no one else has. His portraits of some of the era’s most outstanding musicians helped Marshall amass a staggering archive of music photography and Grammy recognition for his work.
