Bono and Edge attend Corbijn exhibition opening

Bono and Edge were among the famous faces who appeared at the opening reception for Anton Corbijn’s U2&I exhibition at the Stellan Holm Gallery in New York City this evening (Oct. 9). The exhibition drew not only celebrities, including Orlando Bloom, Kate Bosworth, Michael Stipe, Dave Gahan, and Gina Gershon, but also a slew of U2 fans, who were eager to see the famous photos of the megaband and talk to the photographer who took them.

Six of the photographs on exhibition are available to purchase as lithographs from the gallery at a price equivalent to approximately 84 U2 general admission tickets (figure that one out!). The exhibition runs until Saturday, October 15 (10 to 6 pm).

  5. I was at the book signing at Virgin too. Unfortunately, I was too wet and tired at day’s end to post the pics and write about it.

    Regarding the kindness of celebrities at the Corbijn exhibition opening: Both Michael Stipe and Orlando Bloom took time to pose for photos and shake hands with U2 fans outside the gallery. Edge also gave the fans love and attention.

    Bono sort of ducked into the gallery because he was swarmed by people upon arrival, but on the way out, he did some goofy play in front of the gallery’s glass windows (i.e., pressing and kissing the glass) for the fans and then climbed on top of the SUV and waved at everyone.

  9. This was worth it, a nice wrap to a fantastic U2 weekend. Met Anton, super sweet man; great exhibit. Wish I had the cash for one of those pieces in my home!

  13. Was he under an umbrella? Did he do any dance moves on top of the SUV? Any members of the Nation of Islam around to protect him? ;P

  15. Thanx for signing your great book Anton. I was the Dutch guy (hallo Anton, geslaagde exhibitie gehad!) who played with U2 in Torhout in 1985 (Knocking on Heaven’s Door). I’ve got some nice pictures of U2 & I (haha), playing on Bono’s acoustic guitar. If you or U2 are interested, please mail me and I will send them to you. Thanx again and all the best!!!

  17. ANY VIDEO OF THIS OPENING?

    Just wondering, did anyone outside this event shoot any video? I’m looking for footage of the guests arriving or leaving, including the band or Anton. Please contact me via casesmith@mail.com.

    Thanks,
