The Interview Magazine Covers, 1972-1989:
Richard Bernstein’s Portraits for
Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine
26 March – 30 June 2024
NeueHouse Madison Square

A new exhibition showcasing 1970-80s portraiture of 24 stars – including Cher, Faye Dunaway, Mick Jagger, Fran Lebowitz, Grace Jones, Stevie Wonder, Kevin Costner, and more – highlights the fascinating process behind the iconic mixed-media covers of Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine. In total, 189 cover portraits were created by the artist Richard Bernstein between 1972 to 1989; a selection of the original portraits will be presented by NeueHouse in New York.

Richard Bernstein, who resided and maintained an art studio in the Chelsea Hotel’s grand ballroom from 1968 until his 2002 death, stylishly lived first-hand on the pulse of the cultural zeitgeist his portraits documented. Bernstein was central to the New York social scene that revolved around the Warhol Factory and Studio 54, and his portraits helped amplify the celebrity culture and aesthetic that characterized this dynamic period in New York’s history.
