Riassunto

Erano in molti a essere attratti da Andy Warhol e dalla Factory. Per alcuni incarnavano la scena newyorkese degli anni '60. I personaggi immortalati da Shore - gente che figurava nei film di Warhol, lavorava insieme a lui e frequentava il suo secondo studio in East 47th Street - formano un cast molto variegato. Gerard Malanga, Billy Name, Ondine, Brigid Berlin, Paul Morrissey. E i Velvet Underground - scoperti e lanciati da Warhol nell'Exploding Plastic Inevitable che si tenne al Dom in St. Marks Place - John Cale, Sterling Morrison, Lou Reed, Maureen Tucker e la cantante Nico, figure leggendarie del loro tempo. L'altro gruppo della Factory - ma non un gruppo rock - si era formato a Cambridge/Harvard: Edie Sedgwick, Donald Lyons, Danny Fields, Gordon Baldwin, Dorothy Dean, Edmund Hennessy, Ed Hood, Chuck Wein. (Per quanto improbabile, forse in futuro saranno ricordate tre Cambridge del Novecento: quelle di Wittgenstein, di Blunt e della Factory). E poi Mary (Might) Woronov, Ultra Violet, Pat Hartley, Susan Bottomly/lnternational Velvet, Henry Geldzahler, Jonas Mekas e Sam Green.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Warhol's Factory as seen through the lens of a young Shore, providing an insider view of this extraordinary moment and place

Stephen Shore was 17 years old when he began hanging out at The Factory - Andy Warhol's legendary studio in Manhattan. Between 1965 and 1967, Shore spent nearly every day there, taking pictures of its diverse cast of characters, from musicians to actors, artists to writers, and including Edie Sedgwick, Lou Reed, and Nico - not to mention Warhol himself. This book presents a personal selection of photographs from Shore's collection, providing an insider's view of this extraordinary moment and place, as seen through the eyes of one of photography's most beloved practitioners.
