Karl Stoecker, the forgotten photographer of Glam Rock
Artífice de algunas cubiertas sobradamente icónicas para Roxy Music, Sparks o Lou Reed, esas que formaron parte de la cotidianeidad de los aficionados a la música de los 70s, a Karl Stoecker se le suele obviar en el recuento de fotógrafos del Rock, aunque sus imágenes hayan infuido irremediablamente en mucho del arte visual posterior. Se ha seguido dedicando intermitentemente al oficio, pero al parecer vive menos dedicado a él a orillas del mar californiano junto a sus hijos y esposa, la modelo, fotógrafa y empresaria Patty Stoecker, quien ayudó a darle una segunda vida pública al trabajo de su marido logrando su inclusión en una exposición que la Tate Modern británica dedicó al Glam.
Karl Stoecker was the photographer behind some iconic album covers for Roxy Music, Sparks or Lou Reed. He is often overlooked when it comes to naming Rock photographers, although those images have irremediably been an influence in visual arts. In later years he went on dedicated intermittently to photography, but it seems he faded out of the public radar far more interested in leading a relaxed life on the shores of the Californian sea with his wife, model, photographer and businesswoman Patty Stoecker, who helped give a second public life to the work of her husband achieving its inclusion in an exhibition that the British Tate Modern dedicated to Glam.
