Iconic Billboard at the Strip
In den 1980er und frühen 1990er Jahren war der Sunset Strip in West Hollywood weit mehr als nur eine Strasse – er war ein vibrierendes Schaufenster des amerikanischen Popkults. Eine der prägnantesten Figuren dieser Szenerie war der legendäre Marlboro Man, der überdimensional auf einem Billboard thronte, nicht weit vom Chateau Marmont entfernt. Inmitten des glühenden Lichtermeers und der kreativen Ekstase des Strips wurde dieser Cowboy zur stummen, aber überaus markanten Symbolfigur eines kollektiven Zeitgefühls – rau, maskulin, frei.
