I’m delighted to tell you about this important exhibition of photographs from the seventies punk and new wave movement. “Flies in the soup” features the work of five photographers who, in their own very personal and diverse styles, created some of the most important and iconic images from the punk and new wave period in both the UK and US between 1975 and 1980.
The year 2006 is often quoted as the 30th anniversary of the birth of punk, and to mark it, we’ve brought together, for the first time, an important collection of work by Roberta Bayley, Ian Dickson, Chris Gabrin, (David) Godlis, and Bob Gruen. You can read about the photographers (in their own words) in this brochure, and view a selection of some of the photographs that will be in the show.

This is an interesting piece of history: the New Boots and Panties cover shot that never was. This is a contact sheet enlargement of an entire roll of film taken by Chris Gabrin for an early idea for the New boots cover. In the end this idea was not pursued, but this sequence of images shows Ian in the doorway of his house while his son Baxter (who features alongside his father on the actual cover photograph) looks out of an upstairs window. Limited edition of 25 archival photographs on 20 x 24 inch paper , signed and numbered on the front under the image area by Chris Gabrin.
