McHugh’s Still At It presents portraits drawn from his decades-long practice of photographing artists, celebrities, and leading figures in the cultural world. His work for Architectural Digest and the Grammy Awards established him as a leading portrait photographer, while longstanding relationships with artists including David Hockney, Andy Warhol, Helen Lundeberg, and Mike Kelley have resulted in an extraordinary archive.
A selection of McHugh’s portraits, 40 Artists, was featured in an exhibition at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. His relationship with David Hockney began more than 40 years ago and has developed into a lasting friendship and creative collaboration. From studio visits in Los Angeles to Hockney’s Pembroke Studios in England, McHugh has documented the artist across decades, creating an intimate visual record of one of the most influential artists of his generation.
