The Factory
The Factory was Andy Warhol's studio in New York City, which had four locations between 1963 and 1987. The Factory became famed for its parties in the 1960s. It was the hip hangout spot for artists, musicians, celebrities and Warhol's superstars. The original Factory was often referred to as the Silver Factory. In the studio, Warhol's workers would make silkscreens and lithographs under his direction. History Due to the mess his work was causing at home, Warhol wanted to find a studio where he could paint. A friend of his found an old unoccupied firehouse on East 87th Street where Warhol began working in January 1963. No one was eager to go there, so the rent was $150 a month. A few months later, Warhol was informed that the building would have to be vacated soon, and in November he found another loft on the fifth floor at 231 East 47th Street in Midtown Manhattan, which would become the first Factory. In 1963, artist Ray Johnson took Warhol to a "haircutting party" at Bi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Slaves Of New York (short Story)
"Slaves of New York" is a collection of short stories by Tama Janowitz. Its premise is that finding an apartment in Manhattan is so expensive and hard to do that people in the fringes of the art scene, both male and female, end up with undesirable partners simply to have a place to live. Several stories feature Eleanor, who lives with a psychologically abusive visual artist whose work is obviously derivative of cartoons. The title story was published in ''The New Yorker.'' The book was a hit and quickly became a best-seller. Janowitz became an overnight media sensation, appearing on the cover of ''New York Magazine,'' making guest appearances on MTV and ''Late Night with David Letterman'', and being featured in an advertising campaign for Amaretto. However, according to Janowitz in her 2016 memoir, ''Scream'', the book on its own did not earn her a significant amount of money. In 1989, the book was adapted into a film version by Janowitz and the producer-director team of Merchan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
