wirth it.
contributed by catherine mccormack


if you need an injection of 80's glamour during your lunch break, (and let's be real, who doesn't?), you can opt to pop into the hauser & wirth gallery for their latest offering of warhol's photos and tv clips.

fifteen minutes of fame has landed at this former 1920s bank in piccadilly. meandering through the roll call of notorious hedonists could have you lusting for a stiff one (a drink, perv), or itching for a night out in hoxton. legends mick jagger, debbie harry, and diana ross are featured alongside fashion doyennes diana vreeland and paloma picasso. but the most untouchable? artist jean-michel basquiat.

don't miss a trip downstairs for the self-portraits hidden in the former vault. and if you're a real fan (or just have a whole day to kill), cozy up for the eight hour compilation of tv interviews.

by that point you'll definitely need a stiffy. (again, we mean drink.)
