Brigid Berlin (1939 - 2020) | BAD LAY

Needlepoint pillow of New York Post cover
Circa: 2006
13" x 16"
Brigid Berlin (1939-2020), Andy Warhol’s bestie, was best known for her film work with Warhol in the 60s and her documentary Polaroids. However, in the late 1990s/early 2000s, she created bold needlepoint pillows of contemporary New York Post covers. Combining a pop sensibility and a “woman’s craft” on a comfortable domestic object, Berlin gave quiet permanence to the sensationalist but ephemeral news cycle. I think they are the best things she did—I love them.
