In commemoration of the fortieth anniversary of Punk and the anthem Anarchy in the UK James Hyman Gallery presents a special exhibition of photographs of this seminal period of cultural history. Taking its title from a song by The Slits, Typical Girls, the exhibition focuses on photographs by two women who were intimates of the bands that they depicted: Caroline Coon, who managed The Clash, and Roberta Bayley, who was at the heart of New York’s CBGB club scene.
