"Billy Name invented the term, 'Factory Foto'. He was the first and he was the last Factory photographer. Period. Billy's book will go down in history as the best book about Warhol" - Gerard Malanga
This breathtaking tome is the definitive collection of Billy Name's black and white photographs from Warhol s Factory. Billy's photographs from this period (1964-68) are one of the most important photographic documents of any single artist in history.
Billy lived in a tiny closet at the Factory. He was responsible for the legendary 'silverizing' of the space. When Andy gave Billy a Pentax Honeywell 35mm camera, he took on the role of resident photographer and archivist.
This visual essay, produced in collaboration with Billy and with a foreword by John Cale, offers an extensive trip through Warhol's Factory, including visits from Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground, Nico, Edie Sedgwick and Bob Dylan; filming Screen Tests and features like Chelsea Girls and Vinyl. This volume is not-to-be-missed.
