About this title

Synopsis

For the first time since they were shot in 1981, the story behind Christopher Makos' Altered Images photographs of Andy Warhol is told. Makos has a history of recognizing trends, fashions and social movements long before most others. His highly acclaimed book White Trash caught Warhol's eye and the two men began a friend based on an ever-flowing exchange of ideas, inspiration and technical knowledge. Inspired by the famous photographs that Man Ray took of Marcel Duchamp in drag in 1921, "Rrose Selavy," Makos created a fresh and unique concept. Mixing elements of style, traditional gender cues, and mysterious sexuality, Makos went beyond portrait and photojournalism, giving a glimpse into the future of blurred gender and alternative drag. Evocation, intimate and campy, Andy is a true reflection of Makos' and Warhol's uniquely creative and fertile collaboration.

About the Author

Born in 1948, Christopher Makos grew up in California before moving to Paris to study architecture and later to work with Man Ray. Since 1970, he has worked at developing a style of boldly graphic photojournalism. He has become a seminal figure in the contemporary art scene in New York: he introduced artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiar and Keith Haring to Andy Warhol. His photographs have been the subject of numerous exhibitions throughout the United States, Europe and Japan and the ones of Warhol have been regularly at Sotheby's.
