Stephen Shore

Stephen Shore is mentioned in the diary as a possible host or destination for a planned reunion of figures from Andy Warhol’s 1960s circle. The brief reference places him in the itinerary Billy Name described, but does not establish whether the reunion took place or whether Shore participated.

Identity and Background

The diary identifies Shore as working at Bard College at the time of the entry. It gives no further biographical details, and does not explain the nature of his work there.

The Reunion Plan

Calling from Poughkeepsie, Billy Name described organizing a reunion involving Gerard Malanga and Ingrid Superstar. In the plan he outlined, Andy Warhol would be picked up and taken to Shore’s house, where Stephen Shore was then based. Shore thus appears as part of a proposed route linking Warhol to members of his earlier circle, rather than as an active participant in the recorded conversation.

Limits of the Record

The entry records Billy’s plan and Warhol’s reluctance to face the past; it does not report a visit to Shore’s house or confirm that the reunion happened. Beyond the Bard College detail and the proposed destination, the diary supplies no account of Shore’s relationship with Warhol or the other people named.
