In this book they will be published photographs and polaroids with Urbano Quinto, Anita Bischoff Urbano and Mauro Urbano never seen before with and by Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. The book will tell for the first time the golden decade of Street and Pop Art seen from the eyes of Urbano Quinto through the friendships with the Pop Art trio.

 

The publication, edited by Anita Bischoff Urbano and Mauro Urbano, of the book "Masterpieces of the Middle Age and the Renaissance from the Urbano Quinto Collection" is also planned. This limited edition book will contain masterpieces of european sculptures and works of art from the Middle Age and the Renaissance, for the most part unpublished, from the Urbano Quinto Heritage Collection. These books by Mauro Urbano and Anita Bischoff Urbano scheduled for 2024, have been postponed to 2025 because an international cultural exhibition will be organized by Urbano Quinto Heritage, Dover, DE, USA. In the exhibition event, scheduled for the summer of 2025 in Italy, over sixty never-before-seen works from the Private Collection of the Urbano Quinto Heritage will be exhibited to the public for the first time.

Stay tuned!

"The World of Urbano Quinto" with  
​The Urbano Quinto's American Diaries (1977 - 1987)
 
At the Studio 54 Andy Warhol, Halston and Bianca Jagger were regulars until the opening day. They were there for different reasons: Halston, fashion designer, to see how streetboys in Harlem dressed and the cool Manhattan ones. Always very elegant, dressed in black, Halston loved to appear surrounded by his models, renamed Halstonettes. Andy Warhol was there to look for interesting stories for his magazine Interview and to find inspiration for his Pop Art works. I never saw him dance, but I always saw him with a camera or tape recorder in his hand.  His favorite point of observation was the DJ's console. Privileged position high up where Andy could be seen by everyone and observe everything that was happening. Bianca was still married to Mick Jagger, but she didn't to be very happy. She liked it very much dance and she wanted to meet interesting people even if it was very selective, she only needed a look to understand a person. It was Bianca who introduced me to Andy Warhol on the night of  April 26, 1977  and thanks to him I also meet Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat and John Lennon.
