White Trash Uncut

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 Mako's 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." Contents: Artworks; Photo Index; Introduction; Notes on Everything; Biography; Bibliography; Author Chronolo; Makostudio.

Everything: The Black and White Monograph

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.

This extraordinary visual project began when, on a visit to the photographer's studio, Calvin Klein discovered a series of evocative and powerful portraits of the male form. Featuring over 150 photographs EXHIBITIONISM conveys both sophistication and naivety in seamless combination. These incredible photos do more than just accentuate the nubile qualities of beautiful bodies; they also promote and personalise the timeless fascination with the erotic. Here, Makos seductively lures the viewer into a celebration of all that is intimately desired in the male form in a manner that is so sensitive it will appeal to men and women alike. Each photograph is hand-selected by Makos and Klein so that EXHIBITIONISM is the most intimate reflection of their collaborative vision.
