 | | RV: Well, Andy Warhol's Factory was just around the corner from Mati Klarwein's 17th Street loft, where I first started my oil painting studies, so we would have many visits and conversations with Andy and his surreal circus of characters. |
 | | Everybody who was somebody came to visit Mati at the loft, and some of the people I met there included Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, Buddy Miles, Tim Leary, Peter Beard, Jackie Kennedy, Huntington Hartford, Vali, Ferro, Andy Warhol and his 'Factory', Richard Gere, and everyone else of interest at that time. |
 | | Sadly, Mati passed away in 2002, and will sorely be missed by many, especially those of us who had the pleasure of his company and friendship. |
