During a collaborative art-project in the early 1980s, Christopher Makos, a brilliant artist in his own right, transformed the Pop artist Andy Warhol into a bi-gendered diva. Always on the cutting edge, documenting the queer subcultures of NYC and beyond, Makos brilliantly captures Warhol's other persona -- his queer, anti-normative persona -- it is important to note that Warhol often requested interviewers and the like to call him *Ms. Andy Warhol* -- which is materialized in these photographs.From Makos' black and white photographs to his black and white contact sheets, this new art book by Makos is a must have for anyone and everyone interested in the art of Makos, the image of Warhol, and the collaboration of artists -- especially two important and influential artists such as Makos and Warhol.
