Paul McCarthy (b. 1945) lives and works in Los Angeles. Paul McCarthy is among the most important and influential artists of his generation in the US. His reputation is that of a critical analyst of a mass media and consumer-driven American society. Since 2000, he has collaborated closely with his son Damon McCarthy (b. 1973) on a number of complex performative video installations, such as “Caribbean Pirates” (2001-2005), “F-Fort Party” (2005), “Piccadilly Circus” and “Bunker Basement” (both 2003). The exhibition at Galerie Hauser & Wirth presents a series of photo portfolios related to the large-scale projects they produced in recent years.
