When Portland-native Paige Powell worked at “Interview Magazine” in New York City in the 1980s, she traveled in rarified circles. There were lunches with Bianca Jagger, dinners with David Bowie, and an endless parade of parties with Andy Warhol. And she documented it all with her camera.

Now she’s showing them for the first time in an installation at the Portland Art Museum called “The Ride,” through Feb. 21.
