A private collection of rare, limited edition photographs shot in 1970s downtown New York and London’s Soho are to be offered for sale at The Design Gallery in Royal Tunbridge Wells from 13th November until 31st December, 2021. Iconic images of David Bowie, John Lennon, Iggy Pop, Andy Warhol, Patti Smith and Debbie Harry will be shown alongside The Ramones, The New York Dolls, The Clash, Sex Pistols and Lou Reed, amongst other culturemakers, at the newly opened Pantiles Arcade in the historic Corn Exchange. The exhibition is curated by author and journalist Stephen Colegrave to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his and Chris Sullivan’s best-selling book “PUNK. A Life Apart”, based on over 100 interviews with leading punk figures. Over the last 20 years this has been recognised as a seminal work and studied in universities and colleges worldwide.
