Mcdermott & Mcgough

McDermott & McGough is a collaborative artistic duo consisting of David McDermott and Peter McGough, known for their anachronistic lifestyle and artwork that rejects modernity in favor of earlier historical periods, particularly the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Working primarily in painting, photography, and film, they recreate the aesthetics, fashions, and philosophies of bygone eras, creating works that blur the boundaries between past and present. The duo rose to prominence in the 1980s New York art scene and have exhibited extensively at major galleries and auction houses worldwide.
