Shooting Stars: Carinthia West, Britain and America in the 1970s
21 May – 31 December 2021
A series of rare behind-the-scenes photographs of the world’s most iconic rock stars and actors during the 1970s were exhibited at the American Museum & Gardens in 2021.
Shooting Stars featured a collection of 63 intimate natural portraits and lifestyle shots taken in America and the UK by 70s model, actress and ‘It Girl’, Carinthia West.
The photographs, some of which had not been exhibited before, documented the era, as well as her close personal friendships with the likes of Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood, George Harrison, Eric Idle, Shelley Duvall, Helen Mirren, Neil Young, and Anjelica Huston, as they enjoyed life away from the limelight.
