Hieroglyphics wall

[edit]

According to a short article written by Renee Pappas, wife of the late Jerry Wexler, Herb Greene told her the hieroglyphics wall was the work of Bill Brach. She sent Brach a press release regarding Greene's photo exhibit, whereupon Brach sent her an account of the wall's creation. She includes that account in full at the end of her article, linked above. According to Bill Brach, the wall was in a bedroom of a house Greene had on Baker Street. Brach was renting the room. He says he stripped the peeling wallpaper, found the hidden 1936 New Year's greeting, and added the hieroglyphics.

It's interesting to think that this might all still exist, perhaps hidden under a new layer of paint or wallpaper waiting for someone to discover it in the future. --Tiberius P Cowberry (talk) 04:07, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

MISTAKE

[edit]

MISTAKE - Article says Greene took photo for Jefferson Airplane's "DEBUT" album Surrealistic Pillow. Pillow was the Airplane's 2nd album. "Takes Off" was JA's "debut" Jefferson Airplane Takes Off album. Needs correction. 2601:282:700:77F4:A5D7:7125:DB8:763D (talk) 07:52, 12 January 2017 (UTC)Davequ[reply]

Subjects photographed in front of the Hieroglyphics dining room wall

[edit]

I think a list of subjects photographed in front of the Hieroglyphics dining room wall could be compiled from getty, alamy, and other sites. Also wall graffiti expands over time...
