DEE DEE RAMONE COMES HOME

Dee Dee Ramone Exhibition Primieres in NYC

After having his work shown at La Luz De Jesus and Shepard Fairey’s Subliminal Projects Galleries in LA, a  Dee Dee Ramone Exhibition will be held at the Hotel Chelsea Storefront Gallery in New York City from December 10th to January 1st. It’s a celebration the late Ramone, born Douglas Glen Colvin, who passed on June 5, 2002. The Ramones where unique for more reasons than 2-minute songs on an LP, but a stand out is that Dee Dee was the band’s bassist and primary song writer. Less know than his riffs are Dee Dee’s other artistic skills. The exhibition sets out to celebrate them all.

A home coming on many levels, the Hotel Chelsea is by no means a random choice for the event. It was a place Dee Dee hung and lived from time to time, along with being the subject of many works including the Chelsea Horror Hotel: A Novel.

Mixed in with Dee Dee’s own art will be photos from the Punk scene by the likes of Mick Rock, Keith Green and Ed Perlstein. Ed took the shot above.

Last but not least, Fender, a sponsor of the gig, will be offering a sneak peak at the Dee Dee Ramone Ltd. Edition Sinature Precision Bass.
