The photograph of David Colby and Wilhelm Moser, publishers, and Johno Du Plessis, editor, of the ‘Manipulator’ magazine is by Eugene Pinkowski (American, b.1954). On a Saturday afternoon in 1984 Pinkowski received a call from New York. It was Andy Warhol, who simply asked: "Would you like to do a shoot of Dennis Hopper for me next Tuesday?" Stunned, Pinkowski hesitated to answer. "If you show up, I'll know you want to work for me" said Warhol. Pinkowski did, and continued shooting features in every issue of ‘Interview’ until Warhol's death.
