Gerard Malanga, described by The New York Times as “Andy Warhol’s foremost associate ,” makes his long-awaited debut in the Netherlands with the exhibition Iconic at Gallery Boomerang. The exhibition offers a unique opportunity to experience the glamour of the New York avant-garde of the 1960s and 1970s. Malanga was an indispensable force within Warhol’s work, with whom he collaborated in the legendary workshop The Factory . The selection on display from his photography archive offers an unpolished and intimate look at influential figures who defined the 20th ^century . The exhibition includes portraits of Mick Jagger, Andy Warhol, The Velvet Underground , Patti Smith, and Salvador Dalí , among others .

Malanga’s ability to capture world-famous personalities from the depths of genuine friendship lends the collection a rare authenticity and depth. The artist, who was awarded the Order of Arts and Letters in 2024, brings a selection of his works to the Netherlands with Iconic that explores the boundary between anonymity and fame. The exhibition thus serves as an impressive historical document of one of the most creative periods American art history has ever known. This makes the exhibition a must-see for every photography and cultural history enthusiast.
