Debbie Harry and Chris Stein, New York City, 1978 (1)

Debbie Harry and Chris Stein photographed in New York City in 1978, at a pivotal moment in Blondie’s rise from the downtown club circuit to international recognition. Taken inside a limousine, the image captures a rare atmosphere of intimacy and composure within the public acceleration of the New York punk scene.

Roberta Bayley’s proximity to the artists allowed her to document not only performance, but the private spaces that shaped the visual mythology of late-1970s music culture.

All prints are produced from the original negative, hand-signed by Roberta Bayley, stamped on the verso, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by the gallery.

Vintage prints may be available upon request.
