In this amazing book about the cultural revolution of the 60s and the "first" Silver Factory, illustrated with more than 100 bandw pictures- many by Billy Name, Stephen Shore and Gerard Malanga-Steven Watson gives us detailed portraits of the characters who became the original Factory group. He traces their lives from before they arrived at the Factory through 1968, the year Warhol was shot by Valeric Solanas. Watson uses his signature sidebars, sociograms and a detailed chronology to show the vocabulary, quotes and timelines of this avant-garde group. We see the first happening/party of a thousand organized by Sam Green at the ICA in Philadelphia, nights at Max's Kansas City, the Chelsea Hotel or such discos as Arthur or Ondine: the interaction of uptown and downtown, bohemia, society and sleaze. Watson shows how Warhol was always interested in a collaborative process both for art and film. It was Billy Linich and Gerard Malanga who served as his first assistants when he moved into the former factory that became, from 1964-1968, his workplace at: 241 East 47th Street, helping him to produce the more than 500 films, a record, a novel and hundreds of photographs and paintings. These were the years ofWarhol's Death and Disaster series. Flower paintings, Campbell Soup cans, Brillo boxes, Marilyns, Elizabeth Taylors and Jimmy Cagneys and such films as: Ciao Manhattan, Trash and The Chelsea Girls. Into this scene came Edie Sedgwick, the beautiful and doomed blueblood who Warhol made his first superstar; Rotten Rita, Brigid Berlin, and Ondine as well as the drag queens Holly Woodlawn, Jackie Curtis and Candy Darling were part of the silver Factory; from the world of film there were Paul Morrissey, Emile de Antonio, Jonas Mekas, Taylor Mead; from the world of poetry John Ashbery, Alien Ginsberg, John Wieniers; Lou Reed, John Cale, Nico as part of the Velvet Underground-the band associated with the Factory; from the world of art, Leo Castelli, Henry Geldzahler, Ivan Karp; from the worlds of dance and theater, Lucinda Childs, Fred Herko and Play-House of the Ridiculous; from the fashion world, Betsey Johnson and Viva. Watson has written a comprehensive study of early Factory life and documented the vast output of film and art that would come to have an enormous impact on the cultural scene of the 60s and after.
