Night. Number 33
New York: Anton Perich, Inc., 1997. Quarto, publisher's black-and-white photo-illustrated wraps folded in fours.
Late 1990s issue of filmmaker and photographer Anton Perich’s seminal nightlife magazine, featuring model Rachel Williams on the cover. Perich began photographing NYC nightlife in the early 1970s, documenting the scenes at Andy Warhol's Factory, the Chelsea Hotel, Max’s Kansas City, and Mudd Club. Inspired by Warhol’s Interview (where he was a regular contributor), Perich founded NIGHT in 1978 as a vehicle for his transcendent paparazzo photos of revelers at Studio 54, Xenon, and the other reigning clubs of the day. Perich abandoned the project in late 1980 to work full-time as a painter upstate, but intermittently revived the magazine through the 90s and aughts. This issue contains interviews with Williams, Adrienne Shelly, Udo Kier, profiles on Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Eva Peron, photos of John Waters, Paul Morrissey, Nan Goldin, and more. Illustrated in black-and-white. Fine. Item #13346
