Billed as An Aquarian Exposition, the Woodstock Music & Art Fair, brought three days of peace and music to Max Yasgur's bucolic dairy farm in Bethel, NY.
An audience of more than 400,000 people experienced music by thirty-two of the greatest musicians of the day, including Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Who and Joe Cocker. The people and the performers shared the music, the rain, the mud and the joy of a communal experience that changed their lives in countless ways.
The Image Works celebrates the singular event of a generation with new and never-before-seen images of the festival that became known simply as Woodstock.

In 1903, French brothers, August and Louis Lumière, patented a color photographic process.
Fine grains of transparent potato starch were dyed and applied to a glass plate. The plate was pressed to create a minuscule color filter. A light sensitive emulsion of silver bromide was applied and the color plate was ready for the camera. Once processed, the result was a color transparency.
The autochrome was the first viable color photographic process based on this technology.
