Interview

Piece: One of five copies of the first issue of Interview Magazine included in Andy Warhol’s 21st Time Capsule—throughout his life he filled over 600 boxes with his junk and ephemera—high end hoarding! This issue of Interview features cover girl Raquel Welsh as Myra Breckinridge and boasts an interview with chained and perfumed favorite Mike Sarne.

Where: The Andy Warhol Museum, located on the unfortunately named Sandusky Street in Pittsburg, PA.
