RYAN MCGINLEY "CRASH" 2001
Ryan McGinley (b. 1977) is arguably the most renowned photographer of his generation. At 25 years old, he was the youngest artist to ever have a solo show at the Whitney (2003).
Over the past two decades, McGinley has proven himself to be the successor to both Nan Goldin and Larry Clark with a unique documentary style that portrays the idealisms and realities of a generation.
McGinley's work captures the optimism, rebellion and hedonism experienced by friends and lovers in and around New York City. Artists, like the late Dash Snow and Dan Colen, regularly make appearances in his images.
"Crash" is an image that sits at the perfect intersection of McGinley's most cherished elements: portraiture of youth who exist freely, at play in nature. This photograph is an iconic paradigm of his celebratory, sexy, and unapologetic practice.
During this era, McGinley worked almost exclusively in a 40" x 30" print format. It is quite rare to find an image from the period in this more intimate size. This luminous portrait perfectly demonstrates Ryan McGinley's iconic mastery at portraying the fleeting feeling of youth.
While McGinley established his reputation with joyful images such as this one, he has gradually evolved into one of the most sought-after portrait photographers. Today, his work regularly appears in magazines including Vanity Fair and the New York Times magazine.
