Ryan McGinley's Early Photos at Team Gallery, New York
Team Gallery in SoHo presents Ryan McGinley's early photographs, many shown for the first time in a gallery setting. Shot with a Yashica T-4 automatic camera, the images capture intimate moments of friends crying, laughing, undressing, and having sex. McGinley, who was 25 in 2003, became the youngest artist to have a solo show at the Whitney Museum with "The Kids Are Alright," which launched his fame. His style aligns with the urban subculture photography of Nan Goldin and Philip-Lorca diCorcia. The exhibition runs until April 1, 2017, at 83 Grand Street.
