David McCabe
David McCabe was a photographer who began following the artist Andy Warhol around New York in 1964, documenting his life and exploits for a year. He captured Warhol's self-designed mythology in the making, chronicling the glamorous downtown New York universe that the artist was manipulating into existence. McCabe's photographs documented a subversive and alluring notion of artistic life that young people still flock to New York to seek today. In addition to his work with Warhol, McCabe shot fashion editorials for magazines like Glamour and Mademoiselle. His photography style was influenced by his time spent working with Warhol, capturing the eccentric personalities and tabloid-worthy dramas of the downtown New York art scene.
