In his younger years, Amsterdam-born photographer Ari Marcopoulos worked as studio assistant to Andy Warhol and Irving Penn, and their influence shines through in his imagery's edginess, its elegance, and in the gift for intimate portraiture. Marcopoulos has made a name for himself documenting insular tribes and scenes: the '80s downtown art circles of Basquiat, Haring, and Mapplethorpe; musical groups such as the Beastie Boys; daredevil skaters and surfboarders; and most recently the domestic tribe of family (his own). In his first retrospective, Marcopoulos presents over 90 prints from his 30-year career.
