Brigid Berlin: Polaroids Details
Review Brigid Berlin Polaroids is a wild photographic odyssey providing an intimate, beautiful, outrageous and darkly witty insight into this iconic period.

(Kevin Umana Artnet)The filmmaker John Waters once described the artist Brigid Berlin as a "lady who really lunched but also loved being nude." He called her a "hostile debutante" - her mother was a New York socialite; her father was president of Hearst for 30 years.

Reviews
A beautiful book from one of the most closest persons to Andy Warhol. The polaroids shows the intimacy of the people who surrounded the factory and Warhol entourage. Candid photos are the best. Great great book for those who loves Andy and also a great book that shows faces and people in social behavious of an era.
