| Robert Risko has been instrumental in shaping the unique
look of Vanity Fair and his work appears regularly in the New Yorker
and Entertainment Weekly. He was born outside Pittsburgh and was first
discovered by Andy Warhol who published Risko's work in the pages
of Interview starting in 1978. Since then, Risko's graphic caricatures
have appeared in almost every magazine including as well as on book
jackets, video covers and CD packages such as the Capitol Sings composer
series and HBO's Comedy Club series. In 1993 he had a one man show
in the windows of Barney's Seventh Avenue which stopped New Yorkers
in their tracks to guess the names of more than 150 portraits by Risko
which had been commissioned throughout the 70s and 80s by various
magazines. "The Risko Book," a collection of his caricatures
from the past twenty years, was published in the Fall of 2000. Currently
he is designing the characters for the upcoming Curious Pictures animated
TV show "Hey Joel." |
