The 'Warhol's America' is an archival pigment black and white photographic print on paper, an exclusive photograph of the beloved pop-art icon Andy Warhol, created by Christopher Makos in 2020. The iconic photograph was taken in 1982 and is of an edition of only ten in existence. The rare print is signed and numbered by the photographer on the lower front corners. The photojournalistic quality of Mako's work gives the piece high-contrast drama and candid nostalgic charisma. Andy Warhol and Chris Makos were good friends during the height of the pop-art superstars' career as a living Artist, sharing many memories during their adventures in New York City and across Europe over the years. Makos' photographs are filled with candor and allow the lively personality of the American icon to shine through with genuine clarity. Makos documented much of his life in the New York contemporary and pop art scenes through his photography with a photojournalistic eye and has captured a unique 'behind-the-scenes' perspective of the life and persona of many celebrities such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Keith Haring, Richard Hell, Debbie Harry, among many others throughout his career as a photographer. This archival pigment printed photograph is exceptionally rare, large in scale and a piece of art history through the lens of one of Warhol's true friends. Capturing in the moment candid images of street-artists, rockstars, icons and socialites, Chris Makos was dubbed by Warhol as "The most modern photographer in America" and gave Andy one of his first 'real' cameras to shoot with. This legendary large-scale photograph arrives ready-to-install in a custom-made glossy white frame with matte black underlay and hooks on reverse. The custom framed dimensions are listed and additional customized framing options are available for this photograph upon inquiry.

He spent his adolescence in California and as a young adult, moved to Paris, France to study Architecture. After extensive travelling throughout Europe, Makos became the apprentice of photographer Man Ray. During the great artist's last birthday celebrations in Italy, The master surrealist and friend of Duchamp took a special interest in Makos and shared many practical insights into his working method as a photographer. In 1977, Makos burst onto the photography scene with his book, ‘WHITE TRASH’. This raw, beautiful chronicle of the downtown NYC punk scene, interspersed with portraits of Uptown Boldface names, became a turning point for his career as a photographic journalist. Makos became close friends and collaborated extensively with Andy Warhol, whom he showed how to use his first camera. Warhol dubbed Makos the "most modern photographer in America" and his book, Warhol: A Photographic Memoir, details his extensive travels and friendship with the Pop Art Superstar. Later, Makos introduced Warhol to the work of both Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, connecting the major players of the contemporary art world. Makos continued to document the New York scene throughout the 1980’s using his Interview Magazine "IN" column to present up and coming stars such as Matt Dillon, Christian Slater, Robert Downey JR. and Tom Ford. Makos then began his long term love affair with Spain, where he continues to be a regular in Madrid. His portraits of Pedro Almodovar, Agatha Ruiz de la Prada...
