Description
Shown here is an original, silver gelatine print of Debbie Harry of the band Blondie. It was taken at the Hammersmith Odeon when the band did it's first tour of the UK (supporting Television) in 1977. The photographer was the well known editorial portrait photographer Derek Ridgers.
It would make a truly unique aquisition for any Debbie Harry or Blondie fan. Prints of this image have never been published or offered for sale before. As far as we can recall, this is the only print that has been made from this particular negative.
It had been hoped that my father's web site would have been relaunched by now and we would selling his limited edition prints exclusively prints from there. This has been put back a few months (due to the production of a new book) so, in the meantime, we will continue to sell what remains of his prints on Ebay.
Limited editions of Derek Ridgers portraits usually sell for many hundreds of pounds (and occasionally a good deal more than that). He has exhibited world-wide and extensively in this country including at the Barbican and The National Portrait Gallery, and has also had one man shows at the Institute of Contemporary Art and the Photographers Gallery.
This photograph is signed in pen by the photographer on the back.The condition of the print is virtually perfect. The illustration shown is a flat bed scan of the actual print being offered. The total print size is 29.5cm by 18.8cm.
If you look at our feedback you'll see that we now have several repeat purchasers, a fact that may best speak for itself.

Almost all Derek Ridgers' black and white photographs currently for sale on eBay were printed by himself, in his own darkroom on double weight, fibre based paper, and they were always archivally processed (air dried and cold flattened) to museum standards, regardless of end use. The smaller of these prints (12x10 inches or less) were almost all printed at around the time of the original session. They were either duplicates of those supplied to the magazines or record companies that commissioned them, or they were simply edited out of the original selection that was supplied. I describe all these prints as "vintage". Most of the larger prints were made, but not necessarily at the time of the shoot, for my father's portfolio or for various exhibitions.
Thank you for viewing.
