HOLLYWOOD – Rock ’n’ Roll royalty gathered at Morrison Hotel Gallery at the Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood on Feb. 13. In celebration of Grammy Week, Morrison Hotel Gallery honored KISS with a career-spanning photographic exhibit, “The Legacy of KISS,” and debut the first edition pieces from the KISS + UKIYO-E Project.

KISS founders Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley were on hand for the opening. Surrounded by a throng of media and fans, the rock ’n’ roll icons posed for pictures. Snapped with the rock legends was Morrison Hotel Gallery co-owners and iconic photographers Timothy White and Henry Diltz.

Some famous faces were spotted in the crowd of fans and friends. Alice Cooper, members of Anthrax, D.J. Ashba of Sixx:A.M. and many other well-known faces, were there to support Simmons and Stanley and the opening of the exhibit.

Guests admired the celebrated images that are a part of the exhibit, taken by photographers who have shaped the careers of many artists, and have become pop culture legends in their own right. They include Bob Gruen, Danny Clinch, Lynn Goldsmith, Neal Preston, Norman Seeff, Patrick Harbron and Travis Shinn.

The exhibit will also include the debut of the KISS + UKIYO-E Project, which showcases the traditional Japanese art. These unique and stunning multicolored wood block prints, are first edition prints and limited to only 200. The KISS + UKIYO-E Project started in fall of 2014 and has culminated in works of fine art that will be on display for the first time as part of this exhibit.

All photographs in the exhibit, as well as many other KISS photographs are available for purchase at Morrison Hotel Gallery and at www.morrisonhotelgallery.com.
