Works

Christopher Makos is an American photographer and artist best known for his intimate documentation of Andy Warhol and the vibrant cultural scene of New York City in the 1970s and 1980s. His work blends celebrity portraiture, street photography, and pop sensibility, capturing icons such as Warhol, Liza Minnelli, and Jean-Michel Basquiat with a candid, stylized aesthetic. Warhol himself called Makos 'the most modern photographer in America,' and Makos has continued to produce work exploring identity, fame, and pop culture throughout his career.
