Anton Perich, the publisher, editor and lead photographer of NIGHT, is also known as a video pioneer and painter.  NIGHT was inspired by Warhol’s Interview Magazine but deliberately sought to distinguish itself by emphasizing its pictorial content and using oversized pages and quality white paper stock.

Gallery 98 has acquired a collection of early issues of NIGHT and related promotional material.
