Everything

Christopher Makos is known internationally for his explosive and innovative photography. This is his first monograph as photographer and artist. He apprenticed with photographer Man Ray in Paris early in his career, collaborated with Andy Warhol, and first introduced Warhol to photography. He also familiarised Warhol to the work of both Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. Makos' work has been in the permanent collections of more than 100 museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art as well as major private collections, including those of Pedro Almodovar and Gianni Versace. His photographs of Warhol, Haring, Tennessee Williams, and others have been auctioned regularly at Sotheby's. Warhol once called Makos the "most modern photographer in America." Here, his work and influence is celebrated.
