Brigid Berlin

Brigid still suffers with obsessive-compulsive disorder, a theme that she often explores in her artwork. Campbell co-authored the best-selling novel Swan and followed it up with a photo book titled Naomi. Brigid Berlin is also famous for her 'Tit Paintings' (1969) (artworks executed using the painter's bare breasts) and off-Broadway one-woman shows. She is also a successful singer; her album Baby Woman sold over 1 million copies worldwide (mostly in Japan), and she was featured on Vanilla Ice's single "Cool as Ice." She had previously appeared in George Michael's music video, Freedom '90, though she merely lip-synched to his song along with other models rather than performing herself. In 1975, Brigid Berlin began work for Andy Warhol's Interview magazine, a position that she held until well after Andy's death. She is reputed to have a quick temper. The question of authorship looms large in valuing Warhol's paintings to this day. She also posed nude for Playboy magazine and for a series of lesbian-erotic photos with Madonna in her book Sex.

Brigid enthuisastically followed this line when interviewed by Time. The prank led to a drop in the value of Warhol's work and both parties eventually retracted their statements. She has been a prominent fashion model on the runway and in print advertising since the late 1980s. Berlin was complicit in one of Warhol's most infamous pranks when, in 1969, Warhol announced that all of his paintings were the work of Berlin. Born in Streatham, South London, Campbell studied at the London Academy For Performing Arts. Selections from these tapes were later compiled to form the play Andy Warhol's Pork. Naomi Campbell (born May 22, 1970) is an English supermodel and actress. Brigid was known for her obsessive taping and photographing of every day life.

She also appears in the Edie Sedgwick film Ciao! Manhattan and has recently been the subject of a documentary Pie in the Sky. Berlin appeared in many Andy Warhol films including The Chelsea Girls in which she famously injects herself while performing a monologue. These injections were readily available through the many 'Doctor Feelgood's'in New York and perfectly legal. After several years as a reluctant debutante and a failed marriage, Brigid Berlin met Andy Warhol in 1964 and quickly became a central member of his entourage. After moving to Hotel Chelsea, she took on the nickname Brigid Polk because of her habit of giving out 'pokes', injections of Vitamin B and amphetamines.

Her socialite mother, Honey Berlin, frequently worried about Brigid's weight and had amphetamines prescribed to faciltate weight control. As a child she regularly mixed with celebrities and the powerful. Brigid was born to socialite parents and a world of Manhattan privilige. Brigid Berlin (also known as Brigid Polk, born September 6, 1939) is an artist and former Warhol superstar.
