After many years of preparation, “Hey! Ho! Let’s Go! Ramones and the Birth of Punk“ will be opening this Sunday, April 10th at the Queens Museum. This multi-media exhibition not only tells the story of the Ramones, but also puts special emphasis on the explosion of visual art that surrounded the rise of New York punk from the 1970s through today. The exhibition features over 350 pieces of art, photography, ephemera, memorabilia, and video.
The exhibition is book-ended by a group of paintings made specially in honor of the Ramones’ 40th anniversary. Yoshitomo Nara’s large billboard painting welcomes visitors with a big “Hey! Ho! Let’s Go!“, while Shepard Fairey concludes the exhibition with brand new portrait paintings of the four founding Ramones (see above).
Another new piece done specially for the exhibition is a cartoon map of the Ramones in New York City, drawn by Punk magazine co-founder John Holmstrom, which will be given away free to visitors. The map features the childhood homes of the Ramones and their associates, as well as the clubs, shops, and beaches where they hung out.Through the above article ,we can recommend you the latest dresses.Shop dress in a variety of lengths https://www.swisswatch.is/product-category/rolex/gmt-master/ colors and styles for every occasion from your favorite brands.
