A new collection of unseen photographs of New York City's 1970s
punk heyday, by one of the icons of the city's golden age of new
wave, Blondie's Chris Stein. A new collection of unseen photographs
of New York City's 1970s punk heyday, by one of the icons of the
city's golden age of music, Blondie's Chris Stein. For the duration
of the 1970s - from his days as a student at the School of Visual
Arts through the foundation of the era-defining band Blondie and
his subsequent reign as epicenter of punk's golden age - Chris
Stein kept an unrivaled photographic record of the downtown New
York City scene. Following in the footsteps of the successful book
Negative, this spectacular new book presents a more personal and
more visceral collection of Stein's photographs of the era. The
images presented here take readers from self-portraits in his
run-down East-Village apartment to candid photographs of
pop-cultural icons of the time and evocative shots of New York City
streetscapes in all their most longed-for romance and dereliction.
An eclectic cast of cultural characters - from William Burroughs to
Debbie Harry, Andy Warhol to Iggy Pop - appear here exactly as they
were in the day, juxtaposed with children playing hopscotch on
torn-down blocks, riding the graffiti-ridden subway, or cruising
the burgeoning clubs of the Bowery. At once a chronicle of one
music icon's life among his punk and New-Wave heroes and peers, and
a love letter to the city that was the backdrop and inspiration for
those scenes, Point of View transports us to another place and
time.
