Hey Folks,
a very good friend wrote this book and I would highly recommend it as it has a lot to do with the great days of pop music in the 1960s & early 1970s, the Rolling Stones, Beatles, Roxy Music and London. The exciting question why at this time there was a connection and intertwining of the so-called high culture of art and the harsh blues & pop music. Galleries like that of Robert Fraser become a meeting place for artists and musicians.

The London of the 1960s. Swinging London: Why did so many famous pop musicians such as Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood or Bryan Ferry study at the Art Schools? What does Pete Townshend's guitar wreckage have to do with it? Why did pop music record covers appear that visual artists created - such as, Sgt. Pepper ', the' White Album 'of the Beatles or' Sticky Fingers' of the Rolling Stones? Why did visual artists develop light shows to the music of 'Soft Machine' and 'Cream'? And what influence did the new Art Labs have on David Bowie's career? The book embarks on a search for traces of the context in which it was created and in the process allows spaces to come back to life that seemed long forgotten: 'Art Schools', galleries and 'Underground Clubs and Labs'. All of these 'interaction spaces' not only fostered the coming together of art forms, they also made it possible in the first place. But what was special about them and what were they like? For the first time, the history is told here which led to the intense influence of visual art on pop music in Great Britain.

Thanx a lot & greetings outta Berlin!

Does she have any plans for an English Language translation of the book?

There's a modest irony in a book about LONDON not being available (yet) in English.

Unfortunately, it is not the author but the publisher who decides whether the book will be translated into English. Whether it is worthwhile and whether there is a need. But you're right: a book that is set in London would be predestined for the English language.
