Dee Dee Ramone Art Catalogue

Here's about 20 paintings by Dee Dee. Most are collaborations with Paul Kostabi or Barbara... and go for $1,000 to $2,000 on EBay. The best source for hard information about Dee Dee's career as a painter can be found in a 9 page interview with Paul Kostabi and Heidi Follin published by Jari-Peka Laitio in "Rock in Peace: Dee Dee and Joey Ramone". Paul Kostabi, who can be seen on drums in the 2001 Dee Dee Spa Club concert footage and on drums at 2:00 in this clip, estimates that "together we made, I think, between four and five hundred." With Barbara, Dee Dee did "maybe one hundred". And "on his own, he probably did about ten to fifteen." Reading between the lines tells you that even with authentic art, Dee Dee may have done little more than sign his name. Regardless, the interview is sufficiently credible that any Dee Dee work that can be connected to either Kostabi or the Follin Gallery can be assumed to be authentic.
