Staley-Wise Gallery (New York) presents the exhibition “RON GALELLA: 55 YEARS A PAPARAZZI“.
Ron Galella brought the work of the paparazzi, that step child of photojournalism, into the public eye, and with it the celebrity culture.
Galella’s art for us is showing the famous as they are without lighting, in their own clothes, often disheveled, and not to happy to be photographed. In the world of publicists and packaging, this reality check is refreshing.
Ron Galella, a native New Yorker, served as a United States Air Force photographer during the Korean conflict, after which he attended the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, graduating with a degree in photojournalism.
