Joe Dallesandro was a prominent underground star as a consequence of his appearances in films made by Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey. The most notable were the trilogy Flesh (1968), Trash (1970), and Heat (1972). Dallesandro’s “Little Joe” tattoo on his upper right arm is a reference to his nickname, made infamous in Lou Reed’s 1972 hit song “Walk on the Wild Side.” The photograph was taken by Jack Robinson for a Vogue feature on December 2, 1970. Early the next year, Andy Warhol designed the cover of The Rolling Stones album Sticky Fingers using a picture of Dallesandro, complete with zipper.
