Anthony Friedkin was born in 1949 in Los Angeles, USA. Friedkin currently lives and works in Los Angeles. Friedkin uses his camera as a means of personal discovery. His full frame black & white photographs explore the many mysteries of moments in time. He creates his distinctive exhibition prints in his darkroom. Informed by the works of Atget, Kertesz, and Josef Koudelka, he moves gracefully among disparate worlds – from surrealistic sets of Hollywood to the shores of the tempestuous Pacific Ocean. Friedkin has had countless exhibitions over the years, such as at the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Laguna Art Museum, CA, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, San Francisco Museum of Art, San Francisco, or Museum Folkwang, Essen. He received the National Endowment of the Arts Fellowship Grant, as well as the Eastman Kodak Company-Special Endorsement Grant, and his works can be found in collections such the J.Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, Museum of Modern Art, New York, Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego, or the George Eastman Collection, Rhode Island, to name a few.
