Ronnie Wood's 'Faces, Time and Places' art exhibit arrives in New York City


Ronnie Wood is not just known as a guitarist for the Rolling Stones. He is also a critically acclaimed and accomplished painter and illustrator. His latest art exhibit, titled "Faces, Time and Places," features numerous portraits by Wood, including those of the Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix.

"Faces, Time and Places" made its London debut in November 2011. (Wood attended the exhibit opening on November 8, 2011.) Now, the collection arrives in New York City for an exhibit at 498 Broome Street, from April 9 to June 30, 2012.

The Broome Street gallery is open every day (except major holidays) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern Time. Private appointments are available.

The exhibit includes paintings, drawings and limited-edition prints available for sale, many of which have never been seen before by the public. Wood and Brandon Coburn selected the pieces in the exhibit.

The New York City exhibit coincides with Wood's second induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. As previously reported, Wood is set to be inducted as a member of the Faces at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony in Cleveland on April 14, 2012.

Wood is an original member of the Faces, the band he was in before he joined the Rolling Stones in the mid-1970s. Wood and the surviving members of the Faces (including Rod Stewart) are expected to attend and will most likely do a reunion performance. Wood was part of a revamped lineup of the Faces (without Stewart) that toured in 2010 and 2011.

In 1989, Wood received his first induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Rolling Stones. He is the only member of the Rolling Stones to have two Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions.
