Suzanne Vega Shares Stories From Her Life | Ron Galella, Ltd.

Prince jumped to his feet for her. Richard Gere gave her his phone number. And Ron Galella caught all of it before she even knew who he was. Suzanne Vega walks through a decade of Ron Galella photographs she never knew existed until she found them on Getty Images and the private memories behind each one. The 1988 Grammys. The movie premiere where a stranger tapped her shoulder and said "warm it up a little." The very first Tibet House benefit with Richard Gere, Laurie Anderson, and Philip Glass. The night she won an MTV Award against Janet Jackson while standing next to a very young Robert Downey Jr. the same day she met her father for the first time in her life. What makes these photos different isn't the events. It's what Galella caught between them, the moment her public face switched off and her real one came back. She noticed it too.
