Debbie Harry at 14th Street Subway, New York City, 1977

Made at the 14th Street subway in New York City in 1977, this work places Debbie Harry within the public architecture of the city that shaped Blondie’s ascent. The subway setting gives the portrait a distinctly downtown register, direct and unsentimental.

Chris Stein’s relationship with Harry and Blondie gives the image its particular intimacy. Rather than a view from outside the scene, the photograph emerges from the daily life of collaborators moving through New York at a pivotal cultural moment.
