Christopher Makos: Lady Warhol
€23.00
This is not Andy Warhol as we are accustomed to seeing him: in dramatic eyeliner and mascara, an asymmetrical blond bob worthy of a "Vogue" cover circa 1987, his hands clutched girlishly at his upper thigh; or with a glisteningly lipsticked cupid's bow, shadowed eyes downcast; or draped, from the armpits down, in a white sheet, his upper chest startlingly pale. In these portraits, made by Christopher Makos (born 1948), the gender-transgressive themes of the 1980s collide with the spirit of Man Ray's famous "Rrose Selavy" pictures of Marcel Duchamp as a coy Parisian lady. The project entailed, Makos recalls, "eight wigs, two days of posing, 16 contact sheets, 349 shots"; this volume includes Makos' original contact sheets, an essay by the photographer about his friendship with Warhol, and full-page prints of the most striking images to emerge from one of Pop's most singular photo shoots.
Christopher Makos: Lady Warhol is a photographic work by artist Christopher Makos. The book documents the intimate and complex relationship between the photographer and the iconic figure of the 1960s art scene, focusing on the life of 'Lady Warhol.' It serves as a visual record of their shared history, capturing moments of glamour, tragedy, and artistic collaboration within the orbit of Andy Warhol's Factory. The publication is presented by La Fabrica.
