About the Artist:
ROBERT RISKO is today’s most celebrated caricaturist. He began his career by following in the footsteps of his mentor Andy Warhol and moved to New York City from Pittsburgh. At 25 he was chosen by renowned art director Bea Feitler along with Rolling Stone photographer Annie Leibovitz and artist Keith Haring to define the look of the new Vanity Fair when the magazine was relaunched in 1983. He has been a contributor ever since. Risko’s work is published regularly in most major magazines including The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, Playboy, Esquire, and Interview and seen everywhere including television on VH1’s “Pop 200 Icons Countdown.” He illustrated the packaging for the “Capitol Sings” composer CD series, and HBO’s “Comedy Club” video series. He has also been published in books such as Fame (1979), Fame II (1981), and The Risko Book, a collection of 180 of his pieces. His latest book is Vanity Fair’s Proust Questionnaire: 101 Luminaries Ponder Love, Death, Happiness, and the Meaning of Life (Rodale, 2009). www.robertrisko.com
