In conjunction with the premiere of the HBO documentary film SMASH HIS CAMERA, Clic Gallery is proud to present the photography exhibit SMASH HIS CAMERA: THE NOTORIOUS PHOTOGRAPHS OF RON GALELLA. The show will run June 1st to June 30th. There will be an opening reception with the artist at Clic Gallery on Thursday, June 10th from 6 to 8 pm. At the opening, Mr. Galella will also be signing copies of his books VIVA L’ITALIA, NO PICTURES!, MICHAEL JACKSON: THE MAN IN THE MIRROR, WARHOL BY GALELLA and many others.
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.
