Ricky Powell has seen a lot of history but is best known as a wise-cracking, self-described playground rat' who used his beat-up Minolta to chronicle the then-exploding world of Hip Hop. Powell understands that access is everything, and in Public Access he delivers. He presents the actors, musicians, performers and artists that inspired him, including Run DMC, Public Enemy, LL Cool J, Fab 5 Freddy, Barbara Walters, Elizabeth Taylor, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Sofia Coppola and Andy Warhol among others. Also presented are never-before-published collaborations.

—The New York Times
For two decades, Ricky Powell has prowled the streets of his native New York, toured the world with Hip Hop’s biggest acts, and full-on crashed celebrity-studded parties on both coasts. Equipped with only his wits and an instamatic camera, Powell elbowed his way into the center of the scene with no shame. “It’s for public access,” Powell could be heard, pleading for an interview with a pizza shop owner on his cult cable TV show, “Rappin’ with the Rickster.”
Powell knows access is everything, and he delivers. In Public Access: Ricky Powell Photographs 1985–2005, Powell presents the actors, musicians, performers, and artists that inspired him, including Run-DMC, Public Enemy, Eric B. and Rakim, Slick Rick, Biz Markie, Eazy E, Method Man, LL Cool J, Fab 5 Freddy, Steven Tyler, Nina Hagen, John Sex, John Lee Hooker, LeRoy Neiman, Martha Graham, Elizabeth Taylor, Paloma Picasso, Calvin Klein, Barbara Walters, Grace Jones, Francis Ford Coppola, Sofia Coppola, Debi Mazar, Cindy Crawford, Elvira, Dondi, Doze, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Andy Warhol, among many others. Also presented in Public Access are Powell’s never-before-published collaborations with top artists, graffiti writers, and photographers including Ron Galella, Ron English, Phil Frost, Lee Quinones, Sam Flores, David Choe, Dalek, DR. REVOLT, ZEPHYR, QUIK, TEAM, DAZE, SEEN, KAWS, JEST, BIGFOOT, SSUR, and HAZE, among others.
