David Godlis is a street photographer. He has been walking for 50 years in the streets of New York with his camera. Above all, he experienced the golden age of the punk-rock scene. “‘History is Made at Night” contains 119 black and white photographs. All taken between 1976 and 1979 around the CBGB in the Bowery. Without Flash with only the lights of the streetlights. So we find the heroes of those punk nights: Patti Smith, Richard Hell, the members of the Ramones, Talking heads, Television, the young Jim Jarmusch, and the crowd of strangers. It is a tribute to this emblematic and legendary place that was the CBGB club. We can see the interior of the room, the concerts, the queues in front of the front door, the atmosphere of those nights. A unique and certainly the most beautiful book covering this period.
