Iconic images of the heyday of punk rock in New York City.
New York Punk captures New York's Lower Eastside when a new blending of music, fashion, and social protest was being born in the late '70s and early '80s. Ebet Roberts's iconic images have come to define an entire generation of musicians and fans. She brought an artist's eye to documenting this scene, befriending many of its leading performers and preserving a rich period of musical experimentation and innovation for our time.
With just a camera and a makeshift darkroom, Roberts became a prominent photographer at New York's premier punk rock clubs. She attended dozens of shows and parties, had limitless access backstage, and photographed up-and-coming performers, from Blondie to Talking Heads to the Sex Pistols, as well as scenesters Andy Warhol, Nico, and Lou Reed. For the first time, this remarkable visual record is available as a testament to punk's enduring legacy and to Roberts's unique eye as a photographer.
