Ron Galella, Paparazzo Superstar is an important retrospective of Ron Galella, the most famous paparazzi in the history of photography. The exhibition brings together over 180 portraits of celebrities, actors, musicians and artists of the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, selected from the more than 3 million shots that make up the photographer's immense archive.
The exhibition itinerary accompanies us behind the scenes of fame, looking for immediate and genuine reactions and emotions. The photographs - mostly in black and white - are sometimes accompanied by the story of how they were made, allowing us to discover the secrets of the trade of the most famous paparazzo of all time and the background of iconic shots at least as much as the people who are portrayed in them.
One room of the exhibition hosts an excerpt from the documentary “Smash His Camera” by Leon Gast, awarded at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and dedicated to Galella's career.
Ron Galella, Paparazzo Superstar it is not just a photographic exhibition; it is above all a trip down memory lane of an era, an opportunity to discover original points of view on those iconic characters that make up the pop mythology shared by entire generations.
