OHWOW is pleased to announce the publication of Terry Richardson’s TERRYWOOD. This volume compiles the work from Terry Richardson’s successful 2012 exhibition Terrywood, held at OHWOW in Los Angeles.
Terrywood is the photographer’s vision of everything that Hollywood represents in the public imagination. In homage to the award ceremonies, Richardson produced a series of ten award statuettes, fashioned in his own bespectacled likeness. These works, and all of the photographs included in the show, are reproduced here, alongside documentation of the year-long process of planning the exhibition. TERRYWOOD also contains overage of the memorable opening night, attended by celebrities such as Tom Ford, James Franco, Odd Future, Sasha Grey, Paris Hilton, Paz de la Huerta, Jared Leto, Lindsay Lohan, and Frank Ocean.
Born in New York City and raised in Hollywood, Terry Richardson took up photography while attending Hollywood High School and playing in a punk rock band. His work has been the subject of numerous group and solo shows throughout the world, and he has published several monographs, beginning with Hysteric Glamour in 1998, followed by the print retrospective Terryworld, and most recently, Lady Gaga x Terry Richardson.
