The Roxy Hotel is honored to announce “Clem Burke Photographed by Chris Stein,” a special pop-up exhibition celebrating the life and legacy of Blondie’s legendary drummer, Clem Burke, captured in a striking series of portraits by renowned photographer and band co-founder Chris Stein.

On view in The Roxy Hotel’s public spaces from September 20, 2025, through January 6, 2026, the exhibition offers guests an intimate glimpse of Burke during Blondie’s formative years, as seen through the eyes of his longtime friend and bandmate. Stein’s photographs capture Burke’s style and presence, and offer a unique perspective into their decades-long creative partnership.

The Roxy Hotel is proud to pay tribute to Burke with this special exhibition, presented in a setting he often called one of his favorites in Manhattan. Burke’s close connection to Stein and appreciation for his photography gives this exhibition added significance.

“Clem was the heartbeat of Blondie — essential to our sound, our success, and our spirit. He’s always been a student of popular music and culture, constantly inspiring us with his energy and drive, always saying, ‘Let’s get it going — we can do this!’ Over the years, Clem has delivered countless iconic punk moments, and these photographs capture some of his finest.”- Chris Stein 

The properties continued relationship with Chris Stein underscores its dedication to creating a cultural epicenter for artists, musicians, and creatives. This collaboration not only enhances the hotel’s identity as a downtown cultural hub but also celebrates the seamless fusion of artistic expression and hospitality. 

This exhibition is open to the public Monday-Sunday and will run through January 2026.
