“If you don’t know Patrick McMullan, you ought to get out more!”
—Andy Warhol
With a career spanning three decades, Patrick McMullan is one of the world’s most celebrated party, fashion, and society photographers. Possessing status on par with his subjects, McMullan knows the intricate connections of those exalted few who live behind the velvet ropes. His relentless documentation of the famous figures who made New York City’s nightlife the definition of decadence in the age of excess is collected for the first time in so8os: A Photographic Diary of a Decade.
A consummate chronicler, Patrick McMullan began his career in the early 1980s shooting the downtown scene alongside nightclub scribe Stephen Saban for the original Details magazine, with nothing more than an Instamatic camera and the encouragement of Andy Warhol. In so8os, he brings us back into the exclusive world of glamour and glitz as it was experienced by the era’s greatest fashion, music, and art icons who mixed uptown elitism with downtown eccentricity in New York City’s nightlife.
Shot in such legendary nightspots as Studio 54, Area, Danceteria, Limelight, and the Cat Club, so8os features unreleased photos from the Patrick McMullan archives. In these pages, McMullan shares with us his photographic diary that holds the essence of New York characters and night crawlers.
