A new exhibition in New York showcases the work of Richard Bernstein, who immortalised Cher, Stevie Wonder, Fran Lebowitz and more on the cover of Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine
Equally comfortable at West Village leather bars and society dinners at the Plaza Hotel, Bernstein moved fluidly through different worlds, developing an exquisite sensitivity to the people he encountered along the way. “Richard intimately knew the people on the cover. He was friends with them, and you can see his love coming through in the artwork,” says Trifon, who points to Bernstein’s relationship with Grace Jones, which extended into their collaboration on multiple album covers.
“We were a very close family growing up and saw each other every Saturday, on the Sabbath at my grandparents’ place on Long Island,” Trifon remembers. “They lived in a condo development with beautiful grounds and we would always go for walks with Richard that ended at a willow tree. One particular day, he had hung all these crystals on the willow branches, so that by the time we arrived, there were rainbows all over the floor of the forest. It was an incredibly wonderful moment.
