If the first half of Andy Warhol's career centered on his studio "The Factory", the second half of his career clearly centered on his active involvement with his magazine "Interview Magazine". Andy was known to sign copies of the magazine at Studio 54, on the streets of Manhattan for fans and as gifts to friends and media axcquintances. He would even sign copies for new subscribers to the magazine. It was works like this Robin Williams cover, where he took portraits of recognized personalities and turned them into remarkable pieces of Pop Culture, that cemented Warhol's place in art history. These signed copies of Interview are now highly coveted and collectible.
