Ramones Close-Up with Banner, New York City, 1977

Made in New York City in 1977, this close-up Ramones image intensifies the band’s graphic presence against the banner behind them. The compressed framing turns the group into a study of repetition, stance, and collective identity.

Chris Stein’s photographs of Ramones belong to the same downtown matrix as Blondie’s early history. His access to the scene gives the work a directness rooted in shared cultural ground.
