Aerosmith, Los Angeles, California, 1988
“Pump” — Limited Edition Print

Photographed in Los Angeles in 1988 by Norman Seeff, this portrait of Aerosmith — Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton, and Joey Kramer — was made during the creative and promotional period leading up to the band’s landmark 1989 album Pump.

Seeff, renowned for his immersive, high-energy sessions that combined live interaction with portraiture, captured the full lineup at a moment of genuine resurgence. Following the commercial breakthrough of Permanent Vacation (1987), Aerosmith arrived at the Pump era with renewed focus and a gritty, high-energy sound that would define their late-career peak. Released in September 1989, Pump produced major hits including “Love in an Elevator,” “Janie’s Got a Gun,” and “What It Takes,” and went on to achieve multi-platinum status worldwide.

Aerosmith is the best-selling American hard rock band of all time, with over 150 million records sold worldwide — including more than 70 million in the United States alone. Often referred to as “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band” and “the Bad Boys from Boston,” they have charted 40 top hits on Billboard, earned 25 gold albums and 4 Grammy Awards, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. The scope of their musical influence shaped the sound and style of hard rock for more than three decades.

Available in multiple sizes, unframed, printed on archival paper.
