More than 60 images of L.A.'s early punk scene shot by photographer Ann Summa between 1978 and 1984 make up "The Beautiful and the Damned", a show on display at Track 16 Gallery at the Bergamot Station Arts Center in Santa Monica.
Curated by filmmaker/journalist Kristine McKenna, the exhibition closes this weekend— but some prints will still be available. Please contact the gallery for details.
Many thanks to both Ms. Summa and Track 16 for allowing Boing Boing to present this online photo gallery of favorites from this historically important series.
Boing Boing readers: were any of you there, at any of these shows? Share your history in the comments.
