Debbie Harry with Vulture Dolls, New York City, 1977

Made in New York City in 1977, this portrait of Debbie Harry with Vulture Dolls reflects the theatrical wit and visual experimentation surrounding Blondie’s downtown years. The dolls introduce a note of artifice, placing the image between portrait, prop, and performance.

Chris Stein’s photographs of Harry frequently reveal the intelligence with which image was constructed around Blondie. His access allowed him to record those constructions from inside the collaboration, before they hardened into public mythology.
