RICHARD BERNSTEIN
STARMAKER
Richard Bernstein, a fixture with fashion and art insiders as well as the Studio 54 set, captured the allure of the disco era through his iconic hyper-colored graphic portraits of superstars for the covers of Andy Warhol’s Interview magazine. Bernstein’s bold and graphic artwork was so complimentary to Warhol’s that it was often thought that Warhol created the covers himself. Yet it was Bernstein, an American artist and art director, whose distinctive craft of embellishing photographs with pastels, stencils, and airbrushing, monumentalized his subjects into dazzling larger-than-life pop-art incarnations of themselves—iconic and forever young.
The book features his legendary Interview covers created from the mid 1960s-1990s of stars including Madonna, Grace Jones, Mick Jagger, Cher, Calvin Klein, Jerry Hall, Bianca Jagger, Michael Jackson, and Aretha Franklin, as well as Bernstein’s rarely seen fine art, album covers, and editorial work for TIME, Italian Vogue, and Playboy, complete with intimate anecdotes and interviews with his closest friends and collaborators. This volume is an essential addition to any fashion, pop culture, style, or art lover’s library.
