poster for "Smash His Camera: The Notorious Photographs of Ron Galella" Exhibition

This event has ended.

Ron Gallela is, simply put, the most famous celebrity photographer of all time. Calling himself "the bandit of images," Galella has snapped every celebrity of importance since the 1960s, in photographs that are unrehearsed, unposed, and often hilariously candid. In the past few years, Galella has become recognized as one of the foremost chroniclers of twentieth century America, and his photographs are now in the permanent collection of the The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Modern in London, and the Helmut Newton Foundation Gallery in Berlin. The exhibit will present the most famous shots from his archives, including "Windblown Jackie", "Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall in the Limo" and "Andy Warhol at the Zoo." This is an extremely rare opportunity to see the actual prints for some of the most iconic images of celebrity culture.
