Gerard Malanga

In 1966, Andy Warhol declared: “Art is a business.” This exhibition, presented by Galerie du Jour agnès b., plunges into the effervescence of the New York scene of the 1960s and 70s through the unique perspective of Gérard Malanga. Photographer, poet, and filmmaker, he captured the icons of his time – Patti Smith, Mick Jagger, Lou Reed – with a rare intimacy. Malanga, a privileged witness to the Factory, immortalized key moments of this explosive artistic period, documenting the meetings and creative energy of artists, musicians, and writers. The exhibition presents a selection of his photographs, offering an unprecedented glimpse into this vibrant and iconoclastic world. The event is free and constitutes a unique opportunity to admire works that bear witness to a bygone era, where art was above all a matter of freedom and experimentation. A fascinating collection for art and pop culture enthusiasts.
