Merrymakers

Malanga was there, along with the dealer Ivan Karp and curator Henry Geldzahler; also present were the art critic David Bourdon, socialite Brigid Berlin and others from Warhol’s “band of pop-artistic merrymakers”, in the words of a local paper.

A GATHERING of merrymakers assembled in Democratic City Committee for the holiday gathering.
