Property of Strider Shurtliff Herb Greene [photographer] — Ron “Pigpen” McKernanPhotographic portrait, signed, ca. 1990s Photograph print (14 x 11’’). Color portrait of Ron McKernan with piano, rifle, and beer, taken at 710 Ashbury Street, signed “H. Greene” at foot. Herb Greene was as close to an “official” photographer as the Dead ever had. Shortly after moving to the Haight in the early 60s he became fast friends with Jerry Garcia, who hired him to take portraits of the band when they were still known as The Warlocks. Greene went on to become a notable photographer of the psychedelic music scene in the Bay Area, and his pictures were widely published in the decades to come as records of the era. His work is featured as the cover art on both In the Dark and Dylan & the Dead.
