Week of December 27 – Fun is work

“Andy always said, ‘Work is fun and fun is work,’” Powell says. “It was just the way I thought New York City was, all the time, for everyone — exuberant.” – Paige Powell

Paige Powell, former Associate Publisher of Interview Magazine, and ex-girlfriend of Basquiat, was among Andy Warhol’s inner circle during the 80s. You can now see her intimate photographs of Warhol, Madonna, and others on display at The Portland Art Museum. The exhibit also features two interactive multimedia installations from Powell.
