A Talk with Rory Trifon: The Life & Work of Artist Richard Bernstein

Sunday, January 24, 3 pm


Join Rory Trifon, President of the Estate of Richard Bernstein, for an exploration of the life and work of artist Richard Bernstein, whose iconic portraits helped define the visual culture of the 1970s and 1980s. Best known for his celebrated covers for Andy Warhol’s Interview magazine (1972–1989), Bernstein transformed images of celebrities, musicians, and cultural icons through his signature use of vibrant color, airbrushing, and mixed-media techniques. Drawing on his personal knowledge of Bernstein’s life and artistic legacy, Trifon will examine the artist’s relationship with Warhol, his connections to New York’s fashion and nightlife scenes, and his lasting influence on the intersection of art, celebrity, and popular culture.
