Andy Warhol's Factory People is a three-part oral history that
tells the story of Warhol's famous 1960s Silver Factory as told by
the friends, superstars, and foes who worked with, partied with,
filmed with, and slept with Andy from 1964 to 1968 in the Factory.
Book I Welcome to the Silver Factory, Book II Speeding into the
Future, Book III Your 15 Minutes are Up In Book II, the Silver
Factory era continues in 1965-66. Andy Warhol. Ever wonder what all
the fuss was (and still is) about? So much has been written about
this art colossus-his obsession with celebrity, his sloppy silk
screens of Marilyn and Liz and Brando, his endless Campbell soup
cans and Coca Cola bottles, his mind-numbing movies-that there are
those who feel his fifteen minutes of fame should have been up long
ago. Instead, he has become a lasting icon of popular taste. As the
New Yorker's art critic Peter Schjeldahl wrote in his review of the
Metropolitan Museum's huge 2012 show of Warhol and his impact on 60
other artists, "Like it or not, we are all Warholian." The familiar
soup cans, along with the cokes, cows, fatal car crashes, flowers
and Brillo boxes, were all prominently featured in our three-hour
documentary, Andy Warhol's Factory People, which spans the years
l964 to l968, arguably the artist's busiest and most creative
period. As were the familiar superstars he made famous, superstars
like Viva and Edie Sedgwick and Ultra-Violet and Nico and the
Velvet Underground. But what set apart our film, and now
distinguishes our book from the many other books about Warhol, is
that we also tracked down the forgotten Factory people, the
remarkable and often bizarre assortment of people who were behind
Warhol's unprecedented rise to spectacular success. These people
often paid a price for linking their destinies to the gifted but
frustrated graphic artist who decided in the early sixties to
"start Pop art" because he "hated" Abstract Expressionism.
