Beastie Boys, NYC Rooftop, 1987

The rooftop setting feels so alive—you can almost hear the city noise behind them. The print has a nice matte finish that makes the black-and-white tones really pop, and it arrived well-protected in sturdy packaging.

The grain and contrast in this print really capture that gritty late-80s NYC energy, and it’s sharp enough to see the wear on their jackets. I’ve got it hanging in my hallway and every time I pass it, I stop for a second. Lynn Goldsmith’s framing makes it feel like you’re on that rooftop with them.

Finally framed this on my wall and the grain of the print is incredible—you can almost feel the New York heat coming off the rooftop. It captures their early energy perfectly, the black-and-white tones really make the image pop. Exactly the piece I wanted for my music room.
