Stumbled into the fashion boutique Public School in Jersey City a few weeks ago and discovered photographer Josh Cheuse. In the 80’s Cheuse captured the music scene in New York, including the early days of hip-hop.
A lot of these photos are printed in his book Rockers Galore. Public School apparently has the last 20 in print - as well as large prints available for an amazing $300.
The show ends this Thursday.
When flipping through the book my wife noticed that her cousin, artist Michael Joo, was photographed alongside his friend Damien Hirst. Looks like artists are rockers too.
Here’s a interview with Cheuse created for the launch of the book.
