Joan Jett, Debbie Harry, David Johansen and Joey Ramone, New York City, 1977

Photographed in New York City in 1977, this group portrait by Roberta Bayley brings together Joan Jett, Debbie Harry, David Johansen and Joey Ramone—four central figures in the evolution of rock and punk.

Bayley’s black and white image condenses the spirit of the era: direct, unpolished and intensely present, yet composed with a clear photographic intelligence. More than a document, it is a rare convergence of artists who helped reshape the sound and image of popular music.

This gelatin silver print is made from the original negative, signed by Roberta Bayley and issued in a limited edition of 25.
