“The Center for Photographic Art is pleased to present the 50th anniversary exhibition of one of the seminal publications in the history of photography: Bill Owens’ Suburbia. Hailed internationally as the ultimate document of the American Suburban experience, this book and exhibition continue to show us who we were and who we are. Owens’ Suburbia project has deepened with time and continues to resonate with audiences throughout the world.

The Fahey/Klein Gallery | Sept. 29 - Nov. 19, 2022
“The Fahey/Klein Gallery is honored to present “Christopher Makos: FRINGE”. This retrospective of Makos’ stunning career will feature an array of works including unique photographic collages and assemblages of legendary cultural icons.
The photographs exhibited in FRINGE are an unembellished visual diary representing a co-mingling of New York’s uptown and downtown worlds, celebrity culture, and the east coast art scene spanning over decades. Makos had unprecedented access to an array of individuals who would shape culture with their own distinct mark through his close working and personal relationship with Andy Warhol. His images capture fragments of iconic Pop culture moments with a nuanced approach. Makos’ unconventional compositions and edgy subject matter is not analytical but improvisational - never sentimental – with a youthful and fresh perspective.” - Press release ©
