A revealing collection of images specially selected from the archive of celebrated photographer Brian Aris, focusing on their leading lady, Deborah Harry, this promises to be a wonderful insight into the world of these pioneers of American new wave and punk rock.
With her two-tone bleached-blonde hair, and cutting edge style Harry quickly became a legendary pop icon and the face of the band. Her stage persona of cool sexuality was notorious and she can undoubtedly be seen to have shaped the direction of a generation. Aris was responsible for many of the photographs which helped to cement Harry‟s international iconic status, leading to her reputation as new wave’s answer to Marilyn Monroe.
The exhibition is held at the Proud Galleries, Chalk Farm Road, London, NW1, from 8th December 2009 – 11th January 2010.
