Memory Motel Une Nuit A Montauk
(Picture: Memory Motel Une Nuit A Montauk/ ES Magazine)Sure, Andy Warhol may have been at the vanguard of pop art with his soup can paintings; influencer culture with his entourage of ‘superstars’; reality television with his stream-of-consciousness films; and brand collabs with his Jean-Michel Basquiat partnership. But what is less known is his side hustle as a landlord to slebs.
Over the years Warhol rented his Montauk getaway — an ocean-front clutch of weather-beaten cottages in the Long Island hamlet — to starry buds such as Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minnelli and Halston. It was Mick Jagger and Keith Richards’ bunk-up at Warhol’s beach house in 1975 that inspired not only the Stones’ song ‘Memory Motel’, but the decadent perfume of the same name by Une Nuit à Montauk.
