Ryan McGinley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ryan McGinley (born 1977) is a artist photographer from New York City whose works are somewhat similar to certain confessional photographers like Nan Goldin, Larry Clark, and Wolfgang Tillmans.
His subjects include mostly color images of friends and lovers, as well as youth more so on the 'fringes' of society (e.g., skateboarders, taggers, etc.)
As of 2000, his works have been seen in many galleries. At 24 he was the youngest artist to have a solo show in New York's Whitney Museum of American Art.
His apartment, at one point, had its walls covered with Polaroid pictures of everyone who had ever visited him.
