BBC News: Lost Rolling Stones photos to go on display in London
February 2024: More than 25 previously lost and unseen photos of the Rolling Stones by one of their photographers and his assistants are to go on display in London.
The Elegantly Wasted exhibition features photos taken by Tony Sanchez, affectionately called Spanish Tony by guitarist Keith Richards.
The photos were previously thought to be lost but were rediscovered decades later in a loft in south London.
Host Oliver Bayliss said fans and collectors were "in for a real treat".
The exhibition organisers said the 27 limited edition prints, which are for sale, demonstrated the "unprecedented access" Mr Sanchez had with the band and were "one of the most important photographic records of The Rolling Stones to come to the market in years".
Oliver Bayliss from Bayliss Rare Books is hosting the exhibition, which is taking place at J/M Gallery near Portobello Road, in Notting Hill, north London.
"I spent months trawling through Tony's archive - thousands of negatives and contact sheets - and am blown away by Tony's unique eye and the quality of these images," he said.
"Fans and collectors alike are in for a real treat."
