POINT OF VIEW - CHRIS STEIN GEBUNDEN

A new collection of unseen photographs of New York City's 1970s punk heyday  by one of the
icons of the city's golden age of new wave  Blondie's Chris Stein.A new collection of unseen
photographs of New York City's 1970s punk heyday  by one of the icons of the city's golden age
of music  Blondie's Chris Stein.For the duration of the 1970s - from his days as a student at
the School of Visual Arts through the foundation of the era-defining band Blondie and his
subsequent reign as epicenter of punk's golden age - Chris Stein kept an unrivaled photographic
record of the downtown New York City scene. Following in the footsteps of the successful book
Negative  this spectacular new book presents a more personal and more visceral collection of
Stein's photographs of the era. The images presented here take readers from self-portraits in
his run-down East-Village apartment to candid photographs of pop-cultural icons of the time and
evocative shots of New York City streetscapes in all their most longed-for romance and
dereliction. An eclectic cast of cultural characters - from William Burroughs to Debbie Harry 
Andy Warhol to Iggy Pop - appear here exactly as they were in the day  juxtaposed with children
playing hopscotch on torn-down blocks  riding the graffiti-ridden subway  or cruising the
burgeoning clubs of the Bowery. At once a chronicle of one music icon's life among his punk and
New-Wave heroes and peers  and a love letter to the city that was the backdrop and inspiration
for those scenes  Point of View transports us to another place and time.
