ANDY WARHOL'S TV: SONIA RYKIEL PARIS 1981; CRUZEIRO
CRAZY IN RIO {WA.00.0216} (TV)
Summary
One in this series of talk/interview programs, loosely
adapted from Andy Warhol's Interview magazine. The
first segment, "Barney's Presents Sonia Rykiel, Pierre
Hotel, NYC," features footage from French designer Sonia
Rykiel's 1981 fashion show, interspersed with clips of
an interview with Rykiel. Between scenes from her
lively fashion show, Rykiel comments on the following
subjects: the significance of the color black; her
penchant for ambiguity in her fashions; the use of
gesture and movement in her shows; fashion designers'
emergence as artists, comparable to painters and
writers; and the challenges that face a successful
fashion designer. Then, Gene Pressman speaks about the
work that went into the American version of Rykiel's
show. In the next segment, "Cruzeiro Crazy in Rio,"
Warhol hosts a segment on Rio de Janeiro, focusing on
the beach culture. Included are comments by Warhol,
scenes of the activity on the Ipanema and Pipino
beaches, and several vistas of the area around Rio.
Finally, in "Andy in Aspen," Warhol talks about his trip
to Aspen, where he enjoyed parties with celebrities and
went skiing for the first time. Included are Warhol's
comments, footage of the pop artist on skiis, and
photographs of several celebrities such as Sonny Bono.
This program contains minor technical problems. This
represents the best copy of this program currently
available to the Museum.
Cataloging of this program was made possible by the
Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, 1999.
