About the Work
Bob Gruen photographed Johnny Ramone at Philadelphia’s Tower Theater on March 18, 1978, during the Ramones’ appearance at the venue. The image belongs to Gruen’s focused backstage and performance sequence from that evening.
This original vintage gelatin silver print measures 7 × 9⅜ in (17.8 × 23.8 cm). A rare vintage work from Gruen’s documentation of the Ramones and New York punk.
