Lou Reed, 1984

The print arrived earlier than expected and the matte finish really makes Lynn Goldsmith’s shot of Lou stand out in my living room. You can feel the raw intensity of that 1984 session just by glancing at it from across the room.

This portrait captures Lou Reed’s intensity perfectly—the black-and-white grain feels like a true 1980s music scene moment. It’s already a conversation starter in my living room. The print arrived well-protected, too.
