Can you imagine that you are a photographer and you are sent by Vanity Fair to cover an event attended by hundreds of the world's most droppable names; Deborah Harry, Keith Haring, Bianca Jagger, Julian Schnabel, Raquel Welch, Robert Mappelthorpe, Yoko Ono, Paloma Picasso, Halston, Liza Minnelli, Roy Lichtenstein, Calvin Klein, Peter Max, Christo, David Hockney, George Plimpton, Claus von Bulow, Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, to name just a few? That's what happened to photographer Christophe von Hohenberg on April 1, 1987. Half the creative constituency of that era was there. The event was the memorial service for Andy Warhol at St. Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth Avenue. And for Warhol, the artist who became famous for painting a Campbell's soup can, most of that mob would have met again late that evening to mourn in the secret basement VIP room of Studio 54, if the club hadn't closed the year before.
