Patrick McMullan opened So Famous at ONE Art Space in Tribeca on November 12, 2026, and Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe was there to honor a photographer he has known since his childhood visits to New York. The opening ran from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. with champagne and bites. The exhibition itself runs November 13 through November 15 at the gallery at 23 Warren Street.

A Story by Award Winning Managing Editor His Highness Dr. Prince Mario-Max zu Schaumburg-Lippe.

So Famous is presented by MaryAnn Giella McCulloh, co-owner, gallerist and curator of ONE Art Space. PR Norah Lawlor invited guests to the special event. For the Prince, the evening was personal before it was social. McMullan was one of the first photographers to photograph him as a young visitor to the city, and those pictures appeared in international society publications and tabloids at a time when his public profile was just forming.

He credits McMullan with recognizing his potential as an international royal personality early on. The Prince also remembers the photographer’s St. Patrick’s Day rooftop parties as some of his favorite New York celebrations, the kind of gathering where the city’s art, fashion and media circles mixed without much ceremony. That long friendship is the reason this gallery show, rather than a party, still felt like a reunion.

The Faces on the Walls

The exhibition looks back at the 1990s and the decades around them, when McMullan documented New York’s cultural life night after night. The personalities represented include Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Princess Diana. Madonna, David Bowie and Mick Jagger appear in the selection, along with Andy Warhol and Grace Jones.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Jerry Hall are also among the subjects, as are John F. Kennedy Jr. and Yves Saint Laurent. Elton John, Anna Wintour, Paul McCartney and Paul Simon round out a list that reads like a seating chart for late twentieth century celebrity culture. Seen together in a gallery, the photographs do a different job than they did in a magazine. A visitor can stand in front of one frame and study the timing of it, the expression caught mid-conversation, the small signs of a room that no longer exists in quite the same form.

That shift from page to wall is the point of putting a working photographer’s archive into an exhibition space. Readers who plan their own gallery time this month can pair the Tribeca dates with the Prince’s recent guide to New York museums that are free, which maps free and pay-what-you-wish admission across the boroughs.

The Presenter Grew Up at a Drafting Table

McCulloh comes to this work with a family history in American visual culture. Her father, Joe Giella, was a comic book artist whose career included work on Batman, Green Lantern and The Flash. He was associated professionally with Stan Lee, received a Harvey Award for lifetime achievement, and saw his illustrations of Green Lantern and The Flash used on commemorative stamps in the United States Postal Service’s 2006 DC Comics Super Heroes collection.

MaryAnn and her brother Dan grew up around that drafting table, watching artwork get made to deadline for major publications. Dan Giella founded ONE Art Space in May 2011 as a place where significant artistic voices and emerging talent could share a program. After Dan’s passing, MaryAnn and co-owner Mei Fung, who had worked closely with Dan, kept the gallery going and built its position in the New York art market.

Before the gallery, McCulloh worked in executive sales, business development and high-end logistics brokerage. She now serves on the Executive Board of Directors of the National Association of Women Artists, an organization founded in 1889. The gallery’s record under her leadership includes presentations involving Hunt Slonem, Shepard Fairey, Purvis Young, Chuck Connelly, Al Diaz and Andrew Salgado. Her presentation of Shepard Fairey’s work at the Hamptons Fine Art Fair sold out, and her Hunt Slonem presentation carried the title Through the Looking Glass. The gallery has also kept a Women’s History Month program for women working across painting, sculpture and photography.

A Short Run, With a Long Memory Behind It

Three public days is a short run for an archive this deep, so the timing matters for anyone who wants to see it. The Tribeca show sits in a busy November stretch in the city, the same weeks covered in the Prince’s guide to starting a New York Christmas trip in November and his guide to the city’s luxury spas, pools, saunas and cold plunges. Visitors coming in for the holiday season can add 23 Warren Street to that list without much extra planning.

McMullan’s career rests on a simple habit repeated over decades. He showed up, he knew the people in the room, and he took the picture that the room would later be remembered by. So Famous gives that habit a gallery frame for one weekend, with the presenter, the venue and one of his earliest royal subjects all part of the same story.

DIANA, MADONNA, BOWIE AN EINER WAND! Star-Fotograf Patrick McMullan rockt Tribeca – und ein Prinz sagt Danke!

Was für eine Nacht in New York! Am 12. November 2026 eröffnete Star-Fotograf Patrick McMullan seine Ausstellung So Famous in der Galerie ONE Art Space in Tribeca – und Prinz Mario-Max zu Schaumburg-Lippe war persönlich da, um seinem Freund zu gratulieren! Präsentiert wird die Schau von MaryAnn Giella McCulloh, Einladungen kamen von PR-Fachfrau Norah Lawlor. Die Eroeffnung lief von 18 bis 21 Uhr mit Champagner und Häppchen, die Ausstellung ist vom 13. bis 15. November in der 23 Warren Street zu sehen.

Die Geschichte dahinter rührt den Prinzen bis heute: McMullan fotografierte ihn schon als Kind bei seinen Besuchen in New York! Die frühen Bilder erschienen in internationalen Gesellschaftsmagazinen und Boulevardblättern und machten den jungen Prinzen weltweit bekannt. Er sagt dem Fotografen nach, als einer der Ersten sein Potenzial als internationale royale Persoenlichkeit erkannt zu haben. Auch McMullans legendäre St.-Patricks-Day-Partys auf einer Dachterrasse zählt der Prinz zu seinen liebsten New Yorker Feiern.

An den Waenden hängt die ganz grosse Promi-Geschichte der Neunziger: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis und Prinzessin Diana sind vertreten, dazu Madonna, David Bowie und Mick Jagger! Auch Andy Warhol, Grace Jones, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt und Jerry Hall sind dabei, ebenso John F. Kennedy Jr., Yves Saint Laurent, Elton John, Anna Wintour, Paul McCartney und Paul Simon. Wer diese Gesichter an einer Wand sieht, versteht, warum McMullans Archiv als Gedächtnis einer ganzen Epoche gilt.

Hinter der Praesentation steht eine starke New Yorker Kunst-Familie: MaryAnn Giella McCulloh ist Mitbesitzerin, Galeristin und Kuratorin von ONE Art Space. Ihr Vater Joe Giella war ein berühmter Comic-Zeichner und arbeitete an Batman, Green Lantern und The Flash, unter anderem in Zusammenarbeit mit Stan Lee. Er erhielt einen Harvey Award für sein Lebenswerk, und seine Zeichnungen von Green Lantern und The Flash erschienen 2006 auf Briefmarken der amerikanischen Post. Ihr Bruder Dan Giella gründete ONE Art Space im Mai 2011, nach seinem Tod führt MaryAnn die Galerie mit Mitbesitzerin Mei Fung weiter.

Vor ihrer Galerie-Zeit arbeitete McCulloh im Management-Vertrieb, in der Geschäftsentwicklung und im hochwertigen Logistik-Maklergeschäft. Heute sitzt sie im Vorstand der National Association of Women Artists, einer Organisation aus dem Jahr 1889. Ihre Galerie zeigte bereits Hunt Slonem, Shepard Fairey, Purvis Young, Chuck Connelly, Al Diaz und Andrew Salgado, ihre Fairey-Praesentation auf der Hamptons Fine Art Fair war ausverkauft. Nur drei Tage läuft So Famous in Tribeca – wer Star-Geschichte an einer Wand sehen will, muss sich beeilen!
