Clem Burke with Debbie Harry, New York City, 1977

Made in New York City in 1977, this image of Clem Burke with Debbie Harry reflects the internal chemistry of Blondie during a decisive period in the band’s formation. The 14th Street context situates the work within the everyday geography of downtown New York.

As both collaborator and witness, Chris Stein approached Blondie from the inside, photographing the group and its orbit with unusual intimacy. His images register the private texture of a scene that would soon become central to the history of punk and new wave.
