We traversed the United States to track down some of the legendary silkscreens—and their equally legendary subjects—to hear the stories behind the portraits that defined a generation.
“I was very lucky in that my husband [the late artist Arman] really liked to have me ‘hanging around,’ which meant that a lot of artists did my portrait. In 1977, Andy invited me over to The Factory on Broadway to have my photo taken. After he tried a few shots he asked me to take off my top. At first I was reluctant, and you can see that in the image. I’m crouching a bit. I’m certainly not pushing my chest out like a proud cock. [Laughs] But he made me feel confident.
One thing I remember distinctly about getting the portrait taken was that Jean-Michel [Basquiat] was there with Andy and he was visibly upset about the attention I was getting. Jean-Michel did not like other people getting attention. It was a little difficult to pose while he was glaring at me behind Andy’s shoulder. The pose was typical Andy: straight on, very blank, without any emotion, and that’s how he made you look amazing.

That Time Andy Warhol Kissed John Lennon, and More Studio 54-Era SnapshotsThere were plenty of revelers that latched onto the scene in the '70s and '80s that was Studio 54, but take it from Lou Reed: Christopher Makos was not one of those hangers-on. 'Makos was actually there,' he once said of the photographer. 'A participant from the inside, not a latecomer from the outside.' Still, there seems to be no better evidence of that than Makos's photos, which picture Andy Warhol everywhere from New York to Detroit to Paris—as well as in intimate scenes like the artist applying Debbie Harry's makeup, not to mention kissing John Lennon. None have aged a bit, and all are now available via Paddle8's auction starting on Tuesday, which showcases the best of relationship with Warhol, whom Makos, after apprenticing with Man Ray, even taught how to use his first camera—as well as introduced to the art of pals like Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Take a look back all three artists, plus a relatively baby-faced Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, in their glory days, here.
