"  Photo: Richard Corman In May of 1983, less than a year before Madonna made her national television debut onAmerican Bandstand and infamously told Dick Clark that it was her dream &amp;quot;to rule the world,&amp;quot; Richard Corman photographed the 24-year-old singer at her Lower East Side apartment. &amp;quot;She leaned on her staircase and greeted me from her walk-up,&amp;quot; Corman told ELLE.com. &amp;quot;I saw those cat eyes, and I just knew. There are a few people that have that fierce sense of confidence that she portrayed.&amp;quot; Needless to say, the meeting was a memorable one.  &amp;quot;She served me an espresso with a Bazooka bubble gum, I will never forget it,&amp;quot; Corman continued. &amp;quot;The kids from the projects would all come up and sing and dance along with her. I documented all of this. I was a voyeur.&amp;quot; The result of this incredible occasion can be seen in MADONNA \u2013 A Transformational Exhibition, featuring never-before-seen images of the Queen of Pop&amp;#039;s 1980s street style, shot by Corman and fellow photographer George DuBose. This traveling multimedia tour lands at the W Times Square, with select shots also on display at the W New York, W Downtown, W Union Square, and W Hoboken, from April 12 through May 12. Limited tickets are also available to the public for the exhibit&amp;#039;s opening night on April 11, during which street artist Alec Monopoly will recreate two of the images in a live-tagging performance.
