Which writer created the magazine Interview with Andy Warhol in 1969?

John Wilcock created Interview magazine with Andy Warhol in 1969. The publication began as a small New York arts magazine and later became famous for its conversations with artists, actors, musicians, designers, and other public figures.

Wilcock was an English writer and an important figure in the New York underground press. His experience helped shape the magazine during its early period, while Warhol’s name and celebrity interests increasingly influenced its direction.

Interview eventually developed a distinctive format built around informal, personality-driven dialogue. It became closely associated with Warhol’s fascination with fame, publicity, and the cultural worlds surrounding celebrities.

Bob Colacello later became one of the magazine’s best-known editors, and Warhol himself conducted many interviews, but those later roles should not be confused with Wilcock’s role in founding the publication. Interview continued for decades after its 1969 launch.
