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 friendship 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. Relié: 72 pages Editeur : Assouline (2 juillet 2007) Langue : Anglais
