Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, Christopher Makos grew up in California before moving to Paris to study architecture. Since the early 1970s, he has continued to develop his style of bold, graphic photojournalism. Iconic artist Andy Warhol, Makos’ good friend and frequent portrait subject, referred to him as “the most modern photographer in America.” He apprenticed with photographer Man Ray in Paris and frequently collaborated with Warhol, introducing him to his first camera. Makos’ work is held in the permanent collections of more than one hundred museums and private institutions.
