Agnes Monplaisir Hosts Chris Stein & Debbie Harry for Paris Debut

PARIS, Oct. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Agnes Monplaisir, gallerist extraordinaire, hosted Chris Stein and Debbie Harry along with music lovers and art aficionados on the evening of October 3rd for the opening of Stein's latest exhibition, Chris Stein / Negative: Me, Blondie, and the Advent of Punk, at her infamous gallery in the heart of Saint-Germaine-des-Pres.

Agnes Monplaisir is known for representing distinguished artists from around the world, and has been featured on the cover of the Financial Times. Monplaisir has been named by Artnet news as "one of the most powerful women in art today."

Guests included Debbie Harry, Chris Stein, Glenda Bailey, Ettiene Daho, Francois-Jean Daehn, Aurore Crevelier, Yannick Pons, Francoise Gayat, Agnes Monplaisir, and Christian Pellerin.

Galerie Agnes Monplaisir, located at 8 Bis, Rue Jacques Callot, presented both iconic images of Debbie Harry and Blondie, as well as never-before-seen photographs of early live performances and personal moments with some of music and art's most seminal figures, including The Ramones, Iggy Pop, Andy Warhol, and Joan Jett, at historical locations like Mudd Clubb, CBGBs, the East Village, Andy Warhol's Factory, and Beverly Hills Hotel.

The stunning selection of photos on display for this latest exhibition can all be found in Stein's limited edition book of photography, Chris Stein / Negative: Me, Blondie, and the Advent of Punk. These images offer a revealing look back at one of the most influential bands of our time and offer a unique perspective on the larger context of the music scene that they pioneered.

The book, filled with memories and anecdotes directly from Stein on his experiences with Blondie, is both a visual feast for Blondie fans, as the band is captured intimately and inimitably through the insider lens of Chris Stein, and a history of pop music. The book powerfully captures the special relationship between Chris Stein and Debbie Harry, one of the most enduring creative partnerships in pop music.
