Ebet Roberts Print
By Outtake Gallery
Early in Devo’s career, in 1977 Ebet met up with the band to photograph them in the
streets of New York. They encountered the busker with the sandwich board on 5th
Avenue. She quickly captured the photograph of the band with him and the sign he
wore, catching everyone at the right moment. Even the passerby with her ice cream
cone could not have made a better cameo appearance. Years later, the band reached
out to Ebet to bring this image into this exclusive portfolio. The message of this image
remains true then and today. On your wall it will bring a smile each time you gaze at it.
