Description

A behind-the-scenes, in-depth record of his photographic life from 1976 to 1987, Warhol Makos In Context, Christopher Makos' newest book, documents the years he spent at Andy Warhol's side.

Over 100 original Makos contact sheets, reproduced in full with the photographer's editing marks and comments, have never before been seen. Warhol Makos In Context features unedited, raw material of his work during the years he saw Warhol almost daily-including the experiences and friends he shared with Warhol, the trips the two and others made together, and scenes of work life at Warhol's 860 Broadway Factory and Makos' West 15th Street studio. An insider's account of the high jinks and high times at the Factory and beyond, In Context is an unexpurgated visual record of New York's most intriguing circle, and a primary source document that puts Warhol In Context in Makos' life.
