Christopher Makos

Working in a bold graphic photojournalism style, Makos has captured images of people and architecture which have appeared in hundreds of exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the United States, Europe and Japan and have appeared in countless magazines and newspapers world-wide.

He has been a seminal figure in the contemporary art scene in New York. He is responsible for introducing the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring to Andy Warhol. Though most notably recognized for his photographs, Makos attention has been gravitating to painting, silkscreens and serigraphs.

Paul Solberg
