Peter Brant (of Brant Publications) has finally done it.

At his order, Andy Warhol’s pretentious lovechild Interview magazine is to be put up for sale, and auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Which has just got to piss off the dead (but nonetheless temperamental) Andy Warhol, seeing as that’s essentially like destroying the fundamental building blocks of Interview by embracing the greedy capitalist society Warhol so vehemently opposed—you know, when he wasn’t coked out of his mind and creating eccentric soup-can inspired art or rendered borderline comatose on LSD.

And while, in recent years, the mag has dropped off in circulation from the realm of “hip, but obscure” to occupy the niche of “completely irrelevant,” it’s still hard to believe that Interview—in all its passé, antiquated glory—can be yours…if the price is right.

Although terms of the auction are not yet fully disclosed, word on the street has it that the winning bidder not only gets full publishing/editorial ownership, but also the once in a lifetime opportunity of giving homely EIC Ingrid Sischy an “extreme makeover.”
