Performance artist, raconteur and educator Barbara Colaciello gives us a rare insider’s view into the Union Square Factory of Andy Warhol during the years of 1977 through 1983. As the Advertising Director of Andy’s Interview Magazine for 6 years, and as a researcher/interviewer for Bob Colacello’s book Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up, considered the definitive portrait of the Pope of Pop, Barbara will certainly be giving a lively talk at October's Dinner with an Artist in the 1¢ LIFE exhibition space.
