Interview (magazine)
Interview is an American magazine founded by pop artist Andy Warhol and journalist John Wilcock in 1969. The magazine, nicknamed "The Crystal Ball of Pop," features interviews of and by celebrities.
In 1965, pop artist Andy Warhol announced his retirement from painting to focus on filmmaking. After he survived an assassination attempt in 1968, he began to concentrate on building a business enterprise. When Warhol tried to obtain press permits for the New York Film Festival, he was denied. Therefore, having a formal method for obtaining press passes was one of the reasons he founded inter/VIEW: A Monthly Film Journal with British journalist John Wilcock in 1969.
The magazine, which was headquartered at Warhol's Factory, started as a film review before shifting its emphasis to pop culture. "I felt there was a need for an easygoing, conversational magazine,' said Warhol. "Every other paper is full of bad news, but we publish only good."
Interview was published monthly, but is now published six times per year (March, Spring, Summer, September, Fall, Winter).
The magazine was launched in October 1969 with a cover featuring a still from the experimental film Lions Love…(and Lies), which starred Warhol superstar Viva. Initially, the magazine was merely a film critique spread published under the title inter/VIEW: A Monthly Film Journal, with the word "view" paying homage to poet Charles Henri Ford, the publisher of the influential literary magazine View in the 1940s.
Gerard Malanga, Paul Morrissey, John Wilcock and Andy Warhol served as editors of Interview's inaugural issue. By the fourth issue, Morrissey was the top editor since Malanga had left for Europe, and Soren Agenoux was hired as the managing editor.
Bob Colacello was taking a film course at Columbia University when he began writing film reviews for Interview in 1970. By the fall of 1970, Colacello was hired as the managing editor at a salary of $50 ($400 in 2024) a week. He brought in his friend and classmate Glenn O'Brien as an associate editor. Colacello's first issue featured film 1940s-era stills of actress Rita Hayworth on the cover and on every page. The idea came from Morrissey, who told Colacello, "Just put one on every page and it'll be funny."
In 1970, film director Jerome Hill and Charles Rydell became part-owners of Interview. Their share was sold to Peter Brant and his cousin Joe Allen in 1971.
