Description - Everything by Christopher Makos
Internationally renowned photographer Christopher Makos compiles here the finest of his black and white photography. With startling innovation and an eye for the cutting edge, Makos has made an extraordinary contribution to modern photography, continuously pushing the boundaries of his medium. Everything: The Black and White Monograph celebrates the work and influence of the man Andy Warhol called "the most modern photographer in America." Everything is a comprehensive survey of Makos' photographic work from 1973 to the present. As Peter Wise writes, it is a collection of images "so distinctly of a particular moment that a whole context is encapsulated" that communicate "something singular about a cultural moment." This compilation, the first volume in a projected series, is unbound by "categories, themes, or specific subject matter." Instead, it serves as a period piece, a vision of a particular time and place assembled by the man Doston Rader says is "widely considered the most important and gifted photographer of his generation." AUTHOR: 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. 248 b/w images
