A Window with a (Inter) View

Our new windows pay tribute to Andy Warhol who would be turning 88 in a few weeks.  Long before there was the Internet, there was Interview.  Andy Warhol's Interview magazine was the best source in the 1970's and 80's for who to wear, who and what to watch, where to dance, dine, shop, and just generally finding out what was happening with the "in-crowd".  It was a great pre-Kardashian time when celebrities generally had to have a talent or accomplish something to achieve a celebrity status.  Looking through this collection of magazines is always a fun NYC throwback with its ads for restaurants, clubs, stores and designers....  Mortimers, Florent, Jerry's, Cafe Luxembourg; Area, Limelight, Pyramid; Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci, Susan Bennis/ Warren Edwards, Agnes b..... and interviews with everyone from Nick Rhodes, Grace Jones and Madonna to Nastassia Kinski, Kathleen Turner, and Jane Fonda.
The chairs and tables are 1970's and were designed by Milo Baughman.  The chairs are newly reupholstered in a dove grey velvet.  The geometric vases are new and in keeping with the Warhol theme contain fresh daisies.  Chairs, SOLD  Tables, SOLD for set of three (nesting).  Vases, $56.00 each
