GERARD MALANGA is widely regarded as one of the most important poets and photographers of his generation whose work has appeared in hundreds of publications over the last six decades. As a young man in the 1960s, he was Andy Warhol’s chief assistant and collaborator, helping the artist create his most important paintings, sculptures, and movies from 1963-70. During this period, Malanga created a large body of his own movies which remain largely unseen. 

In 2024, Malanga was elected as a Chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the Republic of France through the Ministry of Culture.
