Brigid Berlin (1939-2020) was born to New York society and became part of core member of Andy Warhol's Factory. Berlin worked for years at Warhol's Interview magazine where she knit and did needlepoint throughout the day. Her needlepoint pillows take headlines from New York's newspapers. Those offered here reference news stories of the day, including the deaths of JonBenet Ramsey and Martha Moxley and the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart.
