PHOTOGRAPHY
" My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person doing
something unfamous. Its being in the right place at the wrong time, that's why
my favorite photographer is Ron Galella."
_ Andy Warhol, Andy Warhol's Exposures, 1979.
PAUL KASMIN GALLERY is pleased to announce the first major gallery
exhibition of photographs by RON GALELLA in thirty years. The exhibition will
consist of 150 black and white vintage prints taken by Galella from 1960 -
1965. Ron Galella is America's greatest paparazzi photographer and was
deemed "paparazzo extraordinaire" by Newsweek, featured on the cover of
Life, and sued for harassment by Jackie Onassis. His candid snapshots of
