translated from Spanish: Roberta Bayley, the photographer of The Ramones, presents his exhibition in Buenos Aires

Roberta Bayley worked as a receptionist in the now legendary CBGB, the New York club that gave birth to the most iconic bands of the punk world. Today, Bayley is referred to as “the photographer of The Ramones”, because he managed to forge a friendship with them due to their primitive profession.

With 68 years and an extensive and successful career, Roberta Bayley arrives for the first time to the city of Buenos Aires to exhibit their best works.
