Ramones, New York, 1976

As we approach the 50th anniversary of this iconic image, Ramones, New York, 1976 stands as one of Roberta Bayley’s most historic photographs — the very portrait that became the cover of the Ramones’ debut album, a record that forever changed the sound and visual identity of punk.

A key figure of the New York punk movement and the legendary photographer of CBGB, Bayley captured the band at the exact moment when their raw energy and attitude were defining a new cultural era.

Printed from the original negative as a museum-quality gelatin silver print, each work preserves the texture, grit, and unmistakable presence of early downtown New York. This limited edition is hand-signed by the artist.
