Paris: Verlhac Editions, 2008.  Limited edition, number 43 of 400 copies accompanied by an original photograph of Warhol signed by Galella on the rear.

Galella, known as a pioneer and arguably the most controversial paparazzo of all time, was praised by Andy Warhol, who said: "My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person doing something unfamous. It's being in the right place at the wrong time. That's why my favorite photographer is Ron Galella." (Wikipedia)

Galella came to be "widely esteemed: displayed in trendy galleries, compared to the photography of Diane Arbus and Henri Cartier-Bresson, and purchased by collectors and museums as exemplars of stargazer art. The Museum of Modern Art owns as many as five Galellas.

His pictures, most in black and white, came to be admired for their composition, insight and energy, which sometimes mimicked the kinetics of combat photography." (New York Times obituary)
