On the occasion of Blondie's fortieth anniversary, Chris Stein
shares his iconic and mostly unpublished photographs of Debbie
Harry and the cool creatures of the '70s and '80s New York rock
scene. While a student at the School of Visual Arts, Chris Stein
photographed the downtown New York scene of the early '70s, where
he met Deborah Harry and cofounded Blondie. Their blend of punk,
dance, and hip-hop spawned a totally new sound, and Stein's
photographs helped establish Harry as an international fashion and
music icon. In photos and stories direct from Stein, brilliant
writer of hits like "Rapture" and "Heart of Glass," this book
provides a fascinating snapshot of the period before and during
Blondie's huge rise, by someone who was part of and who helped to
shape the early punk music scene--at CBGB, Andy Warhol's Factory,
and early Bowery. Stars such as David Bowie, the Ramones, Joan
Jett, and Iggy Pop were part of Stein's world, as were fascinating
downtown characters like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Richard Hell,
Stephen Sprouse, Anya Phillips, Divine, and many others. As
captured by one of its greatest artists and instigators, and
designed by Shepard Fairey, this book is a must-have celebration of
the new-wave and punk scene, whose influence on music and fashion
is just as relevant today as it was four decades ago.
