About Books

A memoir of New York in the 1980s and 1990s--a time of

both enormous creativity and decadence--told by an artist

who was at the center of it all, including the AIDS

epidemic, and survived to tell the story. Peter McGough--

half of the team of McDermott & McGough, artists known

for their painting, photography, sculpture, and film--

writes about the trauma of growing up gay in 1950s

suburbia; about the East Village art scene of the 1980s

when he knew Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy

Warhol, Jeff Koons and Julian Schnabel; and about his

meeting David McDermott who would profoundly change

his life by insisting they dress, live, and work like men in

the Victorian era. From then on, wherever they lived--in

New York City or in upstate New York--they lived without

electricity or any other modern conveniences. Their art,

called "Time Maps" was concerned with sexuality, bigotry,

and AIDS, and their photography--using cyanotypes and

platinum plates--had great success at major
