Jed Johnson - Biography
Jed Johnson was an American interior designer and film director. Initially hired by Andy Warhol to sweep floors at Warhol's Factory, he subsequently moved in with Warhol and became his lover.
In 1967, Johnson and his twin brother Jay moved from Minnesota to Manhattan. Two weeks later, he delivered a telegram to the Decker building which was being renovated by Paul Morrissey before it became the new home of Andy Warhol's Factory. Johnson accepted an on-the-spot job offer to sweep floors, but quickly moved into editing several films including Andy Warhol's Dracula and L'Amour, and eventually directing Andy Warhol's Bad.
He picked out a townhouse for Warhol on East 66th Street and designed its interiors. He lived there with Warhol for a number of years. Johnson was later a member of the Andy Warhol Art Authentication Board, formed the year before his death.
He was awarded the Interior Design Magazine Hall of Fame Award in 1996.
