JOAN QUINN PROFILES

Thank you for SUBSCRIBING to the ©Joan Quinn Profiles. Joan Agajanian Quinn has been referred to as the “Culture Queen” and the “Gertrude Stein of her day”. Through the 1970s to the 1990s, her Los Angeles home became the nucleus of a pivotal artist interchange. Artists were drawn to capture the enigmatic Joan Quinn; showcasing their singular style in portraiture while embellishing the mythology she had built in the contemporary art world.
Joan Quinn’s, cultural dedication is never ending and has taken many paths. As West Coast editor of Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine, Joan’s constant snapshot taking for the Los Angeles Herald Examiner of emerging and established artists and her current ‘The Joan Quinn Profiles’ cable television show has created an ongoing archive of visionaries shifting paradigms in the creative world."
