More than 150 photographs by the writer are going on view at Vito Schnabel Projects in New York.
A heady, drug-fueled night at Studio 54. A star-studded dinner at Mr. Chow’s in Los Angeles. Jimmy Carter’s presidential inauguration. What do these events have in common? Bob Colacello, the longtime editor of Interview magazine and right-hand-man to Andy Warhol, attended all of them. And he captured them in photographs that only a man with friends in high places would have been able to take.
