Chris Cuffaro says, “I cannot wait to be back in Australia.  I love Australia.  This will be my 12th trip since 1988’s George Michael FAITH Tour and my 5th & 6th exhibitions in Australia since 2018.  This pop-up Pearl Jam exhibition is a big part of my Greatest Hits project!  From the iconic photos you know, to the never seen before photos, Greatest Hits: Pearl Jam | Alive 1991-1992 celebrates those amazing moments and experiences encompassing a complete collection of my time with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band Pearl Jam.”

Behind The Gallery’s Creative Director, Stephen Dallimore adds “We are very excited to be able to bring together this unique experience of iconic Pearl Jam photography, some never seen before, for the fans and collectors and showcase it in Melbourne and Sydney.”

Cuffaro has been shooting artists for the past 40 years and has no intention of slowing down.  As a photographer, creator and director, his natural talent, versatility and tireless pursuit of artistic expression continue to grow no matter the medium.

Cuffaro will base himself in Sydney this summer and apart from spending time eating banana bread and drinking vanilla lattes is open to photographing emerging Australian artists whilst here.  Get in touch if you are interested!
