Opening November 5th at the NYC gallery in SoHo will be Killer Queen, an exhibition featuring never before seen images of the band captured by legendary rock photographers Neal Preston, Mick Rock, Richard E. Aaron, Lynn Goldsmith, Patrick Harbron, Steve Joester, and Paul McAlpine who all worked with one of the world’s most iconic bands throughout their meteoric career.

Marcelle Murdock, gallery directory in NYC said, “Killer Queen will be a celebration of Freddie Mercury’s legacy, and with the occasion of Bryan Singer’s Bohemian Rhapsody release in theaters, it’s only fitting that we pay homage to the rock royal with a special tribute of our very own. We are extremely pleased to not only exhibit some of our favorite Queen fine art photographs taken by the men and women responsible for immortalizing some of Mercury’s most iconic looks and milestones.”

In a photo series by Lynn Goldsmith, Freddie Mercury – the king of Queen – appears resplendent onstage in a crown and royal cape. Similarly, a shot of the singer stripped down to red suspenders and circus-striped swim briefs further augments the flamboyant legacy of a dynamic performer described by photographer Richard E. Aaron as “an absolute diva about his appearance – but not to the point that it affected his performance.”

Mick Rock said “In the early days of my friendship with Freddie, he said to me,

‘The most important thing is to have a fabulous life. As long as it’s fabulous I don’t care how long it is!’

His is generally regarded as the greatest voice to be spawned by rock n roll. He could – and did – sing in a myriad of styles. He was also a superb songwriter. I’m happy to have been the progenitor of his most durable imagery, including the Queen II album cover, which was adapted for Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ video.
