He became involved in the downtown art and songs scenes of the late 1970s and early ’80s. All through this time he was married to style designer Maripol, whom he has because divorced. He also took his images working experience and familiarity to rock songs to do photographic function for the covers of LPs, completing lots of assignments for Atlantic, Arista, Chrysalis Documents and Warner Brothers Data. He photographed The Bongos for RCA Data and for GQ Journal. He also worked on Glenn O’Brien’s late evening countercultural talk exhibit Television Bash.

In 1980, Bertoglio and Maripol secured backing from Rizzoli, through Fiorucci, to deliver a movie (with rock critic Glenn O’Brien) about the No Wave songs scene and the normal Reduced East Aspect milieu. The movie, titled New York Defeat, was directed by Bertoglio, and young graffiti writer and foreseeable future artist Jean-Michel Basquiat played the guide job, which was published by O’Brien to mirror his serious daily life.

The no-wave bands DNA, Tuxedomoon, The Plastics, James Probability and the Contortions, and other people seem in the film, as properly as Child Creole and the Coconuts. Fab Five Freddy, Deborah Harry and other people engage in bit elements. Just after shooting finished in January 1981 Rizzoli pulled out of funding the undertaking, and footage lay unedited for nearly 20 many years until it was released below the title Downtown 81 in 2000.
