Keith Richards, the boys all wanted to be him, the girls all wanted to be with him. To celebrate the publication of the Keith Richards autobiography – Life, V!P’s Gallery Amsterdam organizes a special exhibition with photos of Keith Richards by Gered Mankowitz, Bent Rej, Bill Wyman, Pattie Boyd, Rob Bosboom, Ethan Russell, Jim Marshall and others. Tuesday through Sunday, 12.00-18.00.

Keith Richards (born 18 December 1943) is an English guitarist, songwriter, singer, record producer and a founding member of The Rolling Stones. As a guitarist, Richards is known for his innovative rhythm playing. In 2003 he ranked 10th on Rolling Stone magazine’s “Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time”. With songwriting partner and Rolling Stones lead vocalist Mick Jagger, Richards has written and recorded hundreds of songs, fourteen of which are listed by Rolling Stone magazine among the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time”. Richards, who has been frank about his habits, has earned notoriety for his decadent outlaw persona. Rock critic Nick Kent summed up his 1970s image: “He was mad, bad, and dangerous to know.”
