Ramones, New York, 1976
Roberta Bayley captured this image in New York in 1976, at the moment the Ramones were defining the visual language of early punk.
Used for the band’s debut album cover, the photograph has since become one of the most recognizable images in the history of music.
This print is produced as a gelatin silver photograph, hand-signed by the artist, and issued in a limited edition of 35.
Available in 20 × 24 and 30 × 40 inches.
Music photographs have traditionally been known through reproduction in magazines, album covers, posters, and newly made digital prints. At TMPG, we celebrate fine art music photography by showcasing vintage gelatine-silver prints created close to the time the negatives were exposed. There is something magical about knowing that the light that once illuminated these musical stars now reaches us through these authentic prints.
Gail Buckland, former curator of the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain, is an author, professor and curator. She is the author and curator of “Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955-Present” which opened at the Brooklyn Museum in 2009 and traveled to numerous art museums.
