Richard Hell. NYC, 1977

Richard Hell, photographed in New York in 1977 by Roberta Bayley, embodies the vivid, improvised energy of the early punk era.

Unlike the stark black-and-white of her CBGB portraits, this color image highlights the visual intensity of the scene and Hell’s unmistakable presence as one of its foundational figures.

Made from the artist’s original color material, this archival pigment print is signed by Roberta Bayley and produced in a limited edition of 25.
