The first print edition of this book is now a cult classic. The
author is a highly respected photographer within popular culture,
with a diverse following. The book is the first to document the
American punk scene to the public at large and now represents the
epitome of the scene at the time. Features photographs of artistic
and performance luminaries such as Man Ray, Tennessee Williams,
Mick Jagger, Patti Smith, Richard Hell, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop,
David Bowie, Zandra Rhodes, Divine, Lance Loud, and Marilyn
Chambers, among others. With the publication of his seminal 1977
book, White Trash, Christopher Makos burst on to the photography
scene and made a name for himself as the first photographer to
record the convergence of the "uptown" and "downtown" worlds, as
Debbie Harry fondly remembers. This raw, beautiful volume
chronicled the punk scene as it came of age on the streets of New
York. Interspersed in the mix are portraits of boldface names,
including Andy Warhol, Man Ray, Tennessee Williams, Halston, John
Paul Getty III, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Grace Jones, Patti Smith,
Richard Hell, Tom Verlaine, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Zandra Rhodes,
Divine, Lance Loud, and Marilyn Chambers, among others. While the
first book was a throwaway, this version, produced some forty years
later, is being presented as an extremely collectable art book, now
recognised as a classic in the world of pop culture photo
photography.
