Since the 60 years Graham Nash (born 1942) is known as a brilliant musician with "The Hollies", "Crosby Stills Nash & Young," and as a solo artist.
His passion for photography remained almost hidden and unknown although they already began his career as a musician in Europe.
Graham Nash began in the 50s with the pictures. In 2004, his book "Eye to Eye", are documented in the 50 years of his work appeared. Working from this book are at the center of the exhibition.
Even in the 60 years he collected photography and presented in the following decades one of the most important photo collections in the world.

Graham Nash has been involved in the 70's against nuclear energy. In 1979, he organized with rock stars like B.Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne and many others under the name of Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE) concert against nuclear technology (No Nukes). His commitment has not diminished and he still feels connected to the Nuclear Information and Resorce Service (NIRS). In 2011 he actively supported with David Crosby, the Occupy Wall Street movement.
We can look forward to an exciting exhibition that 4 topics from the work Graham Nash's imagine: family, colleagues, self-portraits and his musician friends (with David Crosby and Stephen Stills, he enters in Bonn on the artificial grass on June 24 in).
40 photo works are costly especially for this exhibition these days in Los Angeles by Nash Editions printed in Archival Digital Print method in format 28cm x 20.3 cm and then in a strictly limited edition signed by Graham Nash.
