ANDY WARHOL'S TV {ROB LOWE, JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT}
(TV)
Summary
One in this series of talk/interview programs, loosely
adapted from Andy Warhol's Interview magazine. The
program begins with "New Faces," a segment introducing
new talent, in which model Tery Ferman tells a story
about one of her unsuccessful auditions. In "A Few
Minutes with Rob Lowe," Lowe comments on his love life
and recalls a lesson he learned from Francis Ford
Coppola about the nature of filmmaking. Next, Alexandra
Condon interviews visual artist James Brown at his solo
show in the Tony Shafrazi Gallery. Topics discussed
include: his good fortune in moving to New York and
breaking into the art scene; major influences on his
art; and symbols that can be found in his paintings. In
another "New Faces" segment, graffiti artist LAII talks
about entering the world of graffiti art and his
collaborative project with artist Keith Haring. The
next portion of the program is interspersed with
conversations between Warhol and artist Jean-Michel
Basquiat. Warhol and Basquiat introduce Area, a club
and art gallery that changes with a monthly theme; Area
co-owners Darius Azari, Christopher and Eric Goode, and
Shawn Hausman discuss the origins of their club and the
challenges of running it. A third "New Faces" segment
features a monologue by Joanna Fields, also known as
"The Beverly Hills Brat." Finally, Lester Persky
interviews C. David Heyman, author of Barbara Hutton's
biography "Poor Little Rich Girl," about the impact of
Hutton's inheritance and her many marriages.
Cataloging of this program was made possible by the
Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, 1999.
