Max Ferguson
Max Ferguson is a contemporary American artist born in New York City in 1959, known for his meticulously rendered, realistic oil paintings of urban scenes. Ferguson's work often captures vanishing aspects of New York City, including its subways, Coney Island, and historic architecture, as a way to preserve them for future generations. His art is deeply personal, often featuring himself and his father as subjects, and is known for its quiet, introspective quality. Ferguson's paintings are included in numerous prominent public and private collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the British Museum, and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
