In honor of Rizzoli_Books's celebratory re-edition of 'Opulent Restraint,' a monograph documenting Jed Johnson’s illustrious career, Mitchell Nugent talked to his fraternal twin Jay to learn more about the man behind the decorator.
, a 224-page monograph that documents Johnson’s illustrious career. First published in 2005, nearly a decade after the designer’s tragic death in a TWA Flight crash in 1996, the reissue comes shortly after the premiere of last year’s, which likely acquainted many Netflix streamers for the first time with Johnson, the janitor-turned-film director-turned decorator who found himself in a complicated romantic and professional relationship with Warhol.
JAY JOHNSON: No, we grew up in a big and very poor family. That’s why we lived in a lot of different houses. We left Minnesota when we were 10 and moved to Arizona because my father thought he could find work there [but] that didn’t work out too well. We were only in Arizona for about eight months and then we went to Sacramento and left when we were 18. New York has been home since I was 18.JOHNSON: Very [laughs]. Yeah. I guess you don’t really notice so much when you’re young.
NUGENT: Wow, a lot of happenstance. Being kicked off the train and then you both end up delivering telegrams and end up at the Factory. It’s incredible how the world works sometimes. JOHNSON: Jed quickly realized It was like a hoarder’s place. Andy’s mother was living there still down in the basement. And so he started organizing all of Andy’s collections of the stuff that he had, the cookie jars and all of that. I think that Andy was happy with the order and his mother was happy with it. But I don’t think that it was his connection to design at that point.
