DESCRIPTION:Charles Gatewood, who died this spring, took pictures from the 1960s until 
 the end of his life. His passing on April 28th 2016, leaves a gap in our 
 lives which we are temporarily seeking to fill with an amazing, 
 career-spanning show of his photographs, collages and personal ephemera - 
 You gotta put the book on the table: Art by Charles Gatewood.\n\nGatewood 
 made his first sale of a photograph in 1966 with his iconic portrait of Bob 
 Dylan. From 1966-1975, Gatewood worked on assignment for Rolling Stone, The 
 New York Times, Harper's, Time, and other national publications. His photos 
 of musicians and authors include William S. Burroughs, Etta James, Allen 
 Ginsberg, Rod Stewart, Al Green, Abby Hoffman, Miriam Makeba, Joan Baez, 
 Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald and Quentin Crisp.  \n\nHe was known as 
 ‘the anthropologist of the forbidden,’ according to kink newsletter The 
 Fetishistas. His documentation of sexual and alternative subcultures in San 
 Francisco is unmatched. Beginning with his book in 1975’s Sidetripping 
 documenting queer and trans night life (with an introduction written by 
 William S. Burroughs), through 1989’s Modern Primitives, in which 
 Gatewood’s photographs of tattooed and pierced Americans and Europeans 
 alongside Andrea Juno and V. Vale’s writing changed style and subculture 
 dramatically, and continuing to recent fetish videos and books, Gatewood 
 captured the beautifully odd and outcast in a way that we think of now as a 
 genre that must be larger than just this one man’s work.\n\nCharles 
 Gatewood has published over a dozen books, including Burroughs 23, 
 Forbidden Photographs, The Body and Beyond, True Blood, Publishing Ink: The 
 Fine Art of Tattooing, Badlands and Messy Girls in addtion to over 40 
 videos and films. He received 3 fellowships from the New York State Arts 
 Council, the Leica Medal of Excellence for his book Wall Street. Charles 
 Gatewood’s images have been archived in over a dozen libraries and 
 universities across the United States and the largest collection, the 
 Gatewood Archive, is at the Bancroft Library at University of California, 
 Berkeley.\n\nAt the reception on August 12th, there will be a gallery 
 discussion at 8 pm with Carol Queen (Executive Director of CSC and long 
 time friend of Gatewood’s), Dorian Katz (CSC Curator), Eve Mohrman 
 (artist and Gatewood’s partner), Robert Tat (art dealer who exhibited 
 Gatewood’s photos at Robert Tat Gallery in San Francisco).  \n
