The Odd Couple of American Art
When The Andy Warhol Diaries came out, in 1989, readers of the 807-page chronicle of daily Warholian doings, gossip, and tabulations of expenditures down to the penny were perhaps surprised to discover that the book effectively begins in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. Page one finds Warhol and a couple of associates, including boyfriend Jed Johnson, road-tripping (gas $19.97, tolls $3.40) to that arcadian corner of the Brandywine Valley, about 30 miles southwest of Philadelphia.
David Hockney, Art Icon, Dies at 88
David Hockney's canary yellow hair went white years ago, his hearing was failing for decades, and he suffered a stroke in 2012. But the man considered by many to be the world's greatest living painter had, year after year, decade after decade, steadfastly remained his boyish, familiar self: gabby, opinionated, workaholic, mischievous, chain-smoking, ever the bespectacled dandy surrounded by a reliable retinue of friends. It was as if Hockney transcended time.
When Uptown Met Downtown
I first met Fred Brathwaite, the artist, filmmaker, television host, impresario, and all-around Renaissance man of hip-hop better known as Fab 5 Freddy, on June 7, 2023. New York was enveloped in a thick, noxious haze that day, thanks to smoke drifting from Canadian wildfires, the largest ever recorded in North America. The city’s air quality that day was labeled “hazardous,” the sun was a dull dot, and the sky was the color of St. Joseph aspirin for children.
How Fab 5 Freddy Introduced Debbie Harry and Chris Stein of Blondie to Rap
I first met Chris Stein and Debbie Harry of Blondie around Christmas, 1978. It was on the set of TV Party. I was enrolled at Medgar Evers College, but being part of TV Party—the gonzo public-access cable talk show hosted by Interview’s Glenn O’Brien—felt like Downtown Hipster University, PhD level. I was a guest on episode one and became a regular, both on camera and behind it, as a camera operator.
Fab 5 Freddy Is Still the Coolest Person in New York
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Growing up in Brooklyn in the 1960s and ’70s, young Fred Brathwaite dreamed of becoming an architect. He pored over books detailing the works of Frank Lloyd Wright and, one Christmas, he begged his mom for a Rapidograph pen, the kind architects use. “She got me one,” he says. “A Christmas miracle.” But Brathwaite didn’t grow up to design museums or concert halls.

This Daredevil Architect Makes Audacious Houses That Meld with Nature
These Homes Let the Landscape Lead César Béjar Above: A vacation home in Valle de Guadalupe, on Mexico’s Baja Peninsula, designed by architect Tom Kundig of Olson Kundig with Matiz Estudio. Sculpture by Teodoro Huerta. Valle de Guadalupe, at the northern end of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula, is a luminous desert basin, its sandy soil the color of moon dust. At night, thanks to low humidity and minimal light pollution, you feel as if you’re in a planetarium.

Granny Takes a Trip, the London Boutique to the 1960s Stars, Revisited
During the sun-dappled London summer of 1967, a King’s College student named Salman Rushdie rented a room upstairs at 488 King’s Road in the aptly named World’s End area of Chelsea. The location—sleepy, vaguely bohemian—was inconveniently out of the way. But it was then undergoing a kaleidoscopic transformation, along with all of London, thanks in part to the outré clothing shop that inhabited the ground floor of No. 488 and went by the eyebrow-raising name of Granny Takes a Trip.
Gay Talese and Edward Sorel revisit "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold"
Sixty years ago this fall, the 33-year-old Gay Talese flew from New York to Los Angeles to report a cover story for Esquire, the “It” magazine of the 1960s. His quarry was Frank Sinatra, the reigning entertainment icon of the 20th century, then on the verge of turning the irksome age of 50. To complicate matters, Talese didn’t feel like writing about Sinatra, preferring non-celebrity subjects, while Sinatra, hampered by post-nasal drip, didn’t feel like talking to Talese.
Music Impresario Quincy Jones, 91, Is Dead
It’s been said that everybody knows Quincy Jones’s name even if nobody is quite sure what Quincy Jones did. If that truism is true, there’s good reason for it. In an outsize and many-pronged career spanning the music and entertainment industries for eight decades, Jones–who, according to his publicist, “passed away peacefully” last night, at age 91–was practically everything, everywhere, all at once, and therefore nearly impossible to pin down.
‘A painting to hear loud and clear’: Ed Ruscha’s Standard Station, Ten-Cent Western Being Torn in Half
‘You want the thing to glimmer. You want it to have inner power,’ Ed Ruscha once said. The writer Mark Rozzo takes a closer look at one of the most important images of American art Auction Highlights 20th & 21st Century Art Video 14 October 2024 Ed Ruscha (b. 1937), Standard Station, Ten-Cent Western Being Torn in Half, 1964. Oil on canvas. 65 x 121½ in (165.1 x 308.6 cm). Estimate on request.
Paul Ruschá's Work Goes On View at the Affeldt Mion Museum in Winslow, Arizona
In 1949, when the artist and collector Paul Ruschá was six years old, his family motored from Oklahoma City along Route 66 to visit his grandparents in California. They made a pit stop in the dusty town of Winslow, Arizona, where the five of them—Paul, his parents, and his older siblings, sister Shelby and brother Ed—ate breakfast in a roadside café. That establishment went belly-up eons ago.
Blues Legend John Mayall Is Dead at 90
“Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller... all the blind guys.” That’s how the multi-instrumentalist John Mayall, one of the chief architects of the British blues revival of the 1960s, who died at 90 yesterday at his home in California, described the influences that shaped his musical tastes and inspired a career that stretched across six decades.
Blues Legend John Mayall Is Dead at 90
He gave B.B. King “the cold sweats”, replaced Eric Clapton in the Bluesbreakers and founded Fleetwood Mac – how Peter Green changed the course of British blues-rock guitar playing Peter Green was the founding member of Fleetwood Mac, and having put the band together, was generous enough to name it after the drummer Mick …
Yoko Ono’s Mind Games-And Her Lasting Legacy
The question of Yoko Ono’s marriage to John Lennon sits like a water buffalo at the center of any conversation about her eight decades of work as an artist. It is oversized, hairy, imposing, impossible to ignore, tricky to get around. Do you tiptoe past it, slink away from it, or approach it head-on?
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, According to Photographer Henry Diltz
“The feeling was just pals hanging out,” the photographer Henry Diltz says of the February 1969 shoot that yielded the cover of Crosby, Stills & Nash, the first album by one of the world’s first supergroups.
The River Cafe Has Shaped The Way We Eat Now
The satirist Craig Brown once said that before Sir Terence Conran’s Habitat shops transformed the way England decorated in the 1960s, “there were no chairs and no France.” Along similar lines, you might say that before Ruthie Rogers and Rose Gray opened London’s River Cafe, on September 10, 1987, there was no extra-virgin olive oil and hardly any Italy.

Fab Five Freddy—the Artist, Filmmaker, and Host of the MTV Show That Turned Hip-Hop Global—Has a New Groove
On a Sunday afternoon in June, inside a cavernous warehouse in the Gowanus section of Brooklyn, the 40th anniversary of Wild Style, the 1983 film that did more than any other to frame, codify, and promote the culture now known as hip-hop, was celebrated as the climax of the weekend-long Five Points Festival. It felt as if an old-school Bronx block party had been transported to 21st-century Brooklyn. The guy manning the turntables?
Martin Amis Is Dead at 73 Original
Swaggering, satiric, urbane, corrosive, propulsive, hilarious, erudite, and malevolent: such was the prose of Martin Amis, a writer who had the presence and personality to back it all up. With pursed lips, an outsize forehead, and the kind of glare that could set newspaper and television interviewers back on their heels, Amis was ready-made for media celebrity. In a widely repeated formulation that probably revolted him, he was the “Mick Jagger of the book world.” There’s some truth in it.
Nita Ambani Is Creating Mumbai's Future One Building at a Time
Nita Ambani’s Mumbai VisionNMACC “I’m a passionate Indian,” Nita Ambani is fond of saying. She has channeled that passion into an ever-expanding array of initiatives, activities, and institutions that are as humanitarian as they are patriotic. Ambani, among other things, is the first Indian to be appointed an honorary trustee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York, and she has sponsored exhibitions there and at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Remembering Burt Bacharach: an Air Mail Playlist
“Never be ashamed to write a melody that people remember.” Burt Bacharach is alleged to have said that. In terms of American composers who have come up with memorable melodies, Bacharach, who died this week at 94, is a shoo-in for a musical Mount Rushmore that might include the likes of Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers, and Brian Wilson.
A Wine Tour of Mendoza, Argentina, and its Jewel: Catena Zapata
To get to Mendoza, the capital city of the Argentinean province of the same name and the nerve center of the country’s vast wine region, you first fly to Santiago, Chile. There, you connect with what I generally describe to friends as my favorite flight. The opening minutes are less like takeoff and more like liftoff, as you rocket skyward at an unusually steep pitch.

A Big Messy Reading Recap
2022 is winding down and I don’t really have the brainpower at the moment to do much more than a lightning round reading year in review; a Spotify Wrapped, if you will, of the books that filtered into my brain. (Via my eyes. From the page. As books do.) I hope you’re coming up on some time off to rest and recharge. I hope you might get to lop a few tomes off your to-read pile, and maybe add a few from here.
Tommy Nutter Brought Bespoke to Rock Stars and Rock Stars to Bespoke
On May 12, 1971, Mick Jagger married Bianca Pérez-Mora Macías in St. Tropez. You’ve probably seen the photos: Mick and Bianca kneeling before a robed officiant, getting mobbed in the street, exuding joy in the back seat of a car. This was a union not destined for the long haul, and the wedding itself proved to Bianca that she’d made a mistake. Her new husband was reportedly more interested in partying with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr that night than in spending time with her.
The Artist Duncan Hannah, Remembered by Michael Lindsay-Hogg and Mark Rozzo
“The Henry Mancini of the New Wave” At some point in the 1980s, a curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art told Duncan Hannah, a thirtyish artist from Minneapolis who’d moved to New York in the early 1970s and had fallen in with the CBGB crowd, that he loved how his paintings “mythologized everything.” At least, that’s how Duncan recorded it in one of his diaries, which he kept for decades and stuffed full of observations, doodles, and clippings.They recorded his hookups, hang-ups, and...
The Famed Boston Athenaeum Library Undergoes Renovation
It’s said to be as Bostonian as the Common. Ralph Waldo Emerson’s father was among the original trustees who launched the place in 1807. It’s where Nathaniel Hawthorne blew off editing work at the American Magazine of Useful and Entertaining Knowledge so he could discover the books, paintings, and sculptures that stoked his writerly imagination. The 19th-century intellect Margaret Fuller spent untold hours there with the goal of alleviating her “poverty of knowledge” and succeeded wildly.
The Dennis Hopper Photograph That Caught Los Angeles
The image is pure cacophony, a distillation of Los Angeles as riotous streetscape, the motorized city as information overload. At a multi-way intersection, traffic lights and directional signage jostle for attention. A billboard declares that “Smart women cook with Gas in Balanced Power Homes.” A pedestrian stands at a crosswalk while a ’61 Chevy Impala faces across an expanse of blacktop, seeming to stare directly into the camera lens.
Behind the Scenes at Andy Warhol’s First Big Bash in “Vacant, Vacuous Hollywood”
Irving Blum was organizing a second Ferus Gallery show for Andy Warhol, scheduled for September, that would showcase the new silver silk-screen works that Dennis Hopper and Brooke Hayward had seen at the firehouse studio. They fell into two series—one depicting Elizabeth Taylor in a publicity shot from Butterfield 8, the other Elvis Presley in a gunslinger pose from his 1960 film Flaming Star.

Dennis Hopper and Brooke Hayward: Unlikely couple and artistic force
Placeholder while article actions load On our 10th anniversary, Los Angeles and I are more in love than ever. Since fate brought us together in 2012, I've been enamored, entranced, obsessed with grokking the city's essence - not only its vibrant now but its storied Technicolor past.
“The Minions Do the Actual Writing”: The Ugly Truth of How Movie Scores Are Made
Creating music in 21st-century Hollywood, as a composer for an Emmy-winning cable series put it, “feels like an underground, a real pimp situation.” He talked about long hours, low pay, and working under a martinet “lead composer”—his boss—who delegated the actual work of writing and recording.
Lucy Sparrow, Britain's Rising Art Star, Talks Beanie Babies
When the British artist Lucy Sparrow was growing up on the outskirts of Bath, her bedroom walls were covered with the usual proliferation of posters and cutouts that, by international law, tweens and teenagers are required to have. But among the array of pop idols and their ilk were some unusual suspects: Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Claes Oldenburg. “When I’m older I’m going to be an artist,” she vowed.
Roundabout Theatre Debuts "Trouble in Mind"
In the 50s, white producers clashed with Black playwright Alice Childress, who refused to water down her play Trouble in Mind. A new cast revives it.
The Penthouse of a Breathtaking OMA-Designed Building in Miami Proves to Be the Perfect Aerie for Mega-Collector and Real Estate Magnate Jorge M. Pérez - Galerie
When Jorge M. Pérez was an undergrad at C.W. Post on Long Island in the early 1970s, he discovered he was pretty good at poker—good enough that his pockets were often stuffed with plenty of walking-around money, the kind typically used for date nights or the keg fund. But Pérez, who was born to Cuban parents in Buenos Aires and spent his formative years in Colombia, had different priorities.
