Everything: The Black and White Monograph - Hardcover

Christopher Makos is known internationally for his explosive and innovative photography. This is his first monograph as photographer and artist. He apprenticed with photographer Man Ray in Paris early in his career, collaborated with Andy Warhol, and first introduced Warhol to photography. He also familiarised Warhol to the work of both Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. Makos' work has been in the permanent collections of more than 100 museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art as well as major private collections, including those of Pedro Almodovar and Gianni Versace. His photographs of Warhol, Haring, Tennessee Williams, and others have been auctioned regularly at Sotheby's. Warhol once called Makos the "most modern photographer in America." Here, his work and influence is celebrated.

Everything stands as a record of the restless, globetrotting life the photographer has led, always with camera in hand...Everything is printed in quadrotone for the richest, most effective reproduction of Makos's black and white work. (September 25, 2014)

Having taken pictures all over the world and of some of the most famous celebrities in history, Christopher Makos said his new book, Everything: The Black and White Monograph, is about remembering and inspiring. (Larry Frum CNN)

A denizen of Andy Warhol’s Factory in the 1970s and ’80s, Makos hobnobbed with Liz and Mick, Bowie and Basquiat; his glam photos from the period mix casual chic with élan. He also captures cool slices of mundanity (for jet-setters, that is). Lots of cute dogs and ponies, too. (American Photo Magazine, December 1, 2014)

Shooters from any era will find inspiration in this versatile photographer's ability to transition seamlessly from the studio to the street, from artificial to natural lighting, from people and puppies to garish automotive grillwork-all in living black and white.
