Interview Magazine folds, Soviet Hippies

Hosted by
We bid farewell to Andy Warhol’s Interview, and talk to artist and celebrity photographer Matthew Rolston about working for the magazine, and the creation of the “glamour- industrial complex.”

A flag created by Sveta Barabash, aka Ofelia, and her band of Soviet hippies. In 1975, they participated in an exhibition of nonconformist artists. The original flag (this is a reproduction), with the slogans “World without Borders” and “Make Hair Everywhere,” caused a scandal and was confiscated by the KGB.
