Joey Ramone, Coney Island, 1977

Photographed at Coney Island in 1977, this portrait of Joey Ramone by Roberta Bayley reveals a rare, unguarded moment of the Ramones frontman away from the stage.

Bayley’s close relationship with the downtown music scene allowed her to capture artists with honesty and immediacy, and this image reflects both the spontaneity and the quiet charisma that defined Joey Ramone.

Printed from the original negative as a gelatin silver print, the work is signed by the artist and offered in a limited edition of 25.
