Glen E. Friedman Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Glen E. Friedman (born March 3, 1962) is an American photographer and artist.Coming to prominence in the 1980s with his photography of skateboarders and musicians, Friedman is considered one of the most important photographers of his generation. He is perhaps best known for his work promoting rebellious artists such as Fugazi, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Circle Jerks, Minor Threat, Misfits, Bad Brains, Beastie Boys, Run-D.M.C., KRS-One, and Public Enemy, as well as classic skateboarding originators such as Tony Alva, Jay Adams, Alan Gelfand, Duane Peters, and Stacy Peralta. Although this work is documentary by association, he considers the work more in the realm of fine art photography. His most recent works exhibit this leaning more obviously.Friedman's photography has been seen in international publications for more than thirty years, on record covers for over twenty five years, and has been exhibited in art galleries and museums worldwide for over ten years. Original prints of his work are in the photography collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, the Photographic History Collection of the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C., as well as the permanent collection of the Experience Music Project Museum in Seattle, Washington, and private collections globally. Six hardcover books have been published documenting his various subjects of interest.Friedman is a progressive political activist, shuns intoxicants (straight edge), and follows a strict vegan diet. He married in 2007 (since divorced), had his first child in the same year, and lives in New York City.In May 2012 Glen E. Friedman was inducted as an "Icon" into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame.
