Ramones: Punk Rock in New York, 1975–1980

This collection brings together a curated selection of rare photographs documenting the Ramones at the moment punk rock emerged from New York’s underground and reshaped popular music.

From early performances at CBGB to street portraits and candid backstage moments, these images trace the band’s formative years and the raw visual language that came to define punk culture worldwide.

Together, the works in this collection offer a direct and unfiltered record of the Ramones’ presence in New York during the mid to late 1970s, capturing both the intensity of their music and the environment that shaped their legacy.
