Patrick McMullan

Patrick McMullan's

IIn the 1980's Patrick McMullan had almost magical access into the inner sanctums of the dynamic and tribal nightlife of New York. Earl McGrath Gallery in Los Angeles is pleased to present the resultant series of photographs.

Both spontaneous and artful, McMullan's photos are the definitive record of a specific place and time. But it's the very specificity and precision of McMullen's eye that allows this body of work to capture the larger and more general changes in American life happening in the 80's.

Mr. McMullan's work can be seen regularly in the publications New York Magazine, Allure, Interview, and Vanity Fair, among many others. He has exhibited his work nationally including shows at the Homer Gallery, the Tony Shafrazi Gallery, and the Spike gallery.

Many of the images are culled from his new well-received book, "so8os", published by powerHouse Books. Mr. McMullan lives and has a photography studio in New York City. He was recently named one of American Photo's Top 25 most important photographers.
