Book Description
Published in association with the Whitney Museum of American Art
In the mid-1960s, at the height of his creative powers, Andy Warhol produced hundreds of three-minute cinematic portraits, called "Screen Tests." Although rarely screened now, these short films captured a virtual who's who of the avant-garde, including such cultural icons as Edie Sedgwick, Bob Dylan, Salvador Dali, and Susan Sontag. At last, in the initial volume of the authorized catalogue raisonné of Warhol's films, Warhol authority Callie Angell examines all 189 people captured by Warhol's lens. Stills from many of the films appear here for the first time. Drawing on 13 years of original research into the Screen Test subjects and their relationships to Warhol, Angell provides an unprecedented look at the pop art master's working method, and a unique record of his colorful social and professional life.

Essential Warholia.......2007-05-13
Wow, it's hard to top Billy Name himself writing a review of this, but this book is a real gas and an essential catalog of Warhol's screen tests. You get stills from each of the tests, with a brief bio of each of the subjects. Always interesting and informative, full of surprises and humor, and exhaustively detailed. There were even a few color tests done, and you get stills from each of them too. Some of these people are true shadows and we know little, and some are truly beautiful (Amy Taubin!). I am really looking forward to Volume Two and the "features." Warhol being the most important artist of the second half of the 20th Century, it is even possible that these films may be his most important art works. Mailer said that we wouldn't recognize their value for fifty years, but we've now passed the forty year mark and my impression is that most people would still want to ignore these -- but time will tell.
probably the best Screen Tests reference-not that I'd know.......2006-11-13
Bought it as an anniversary gift. Before wrapping it I paged through and quickly became engrossed. I'm not sure I would have been as interested if I hadn't previously seen many of the screen tests. Author accepts Screen Tests as canonical films whose production details are of tremendous significance. Brief bios and gossipy tidbits cater to shallower retro-interest in the usual superstars, although numerous people cast in the Screen Tests were rich patrons and art industry knobs. Like much of Warhol's oeuvre, the Screen Tests merit sustained viewing only if you're willing to invest a lot in the experience. Vol 1 provides innarestin' background for people so inclined. Might buy Vol 2, if it isn't bloated with stuff on the Warhol-Morrissey productions.
the best film document for warhol .......2006-03-30
callie angell's expert volume 1 of the warhol film catalog raisonne (screentests) is a must for all libraries as the most authentic referrence manual for this ouvre. all information is from direct viewing of the films and interviews with actual participants. it is therefore the primary source for this series of warhol film art. the publication is beautiful and the illustrations, actual stills from the acutal films, are exciting. the text and essays are chock full of technical info on the making of the series, social notes included. a must have for all serious warhol souces. abrams and the whitney museum of american art did a fine job; it's a historical documentary publication in the art world.

Book Description
Christophe von Hohenberg stumbled upon the beginnings of Andy Warhol's Memorial Service at St. Patrick's Cathedral on April 1, 1987. Now published for the first time on the eve of the 20th anniversary of the Pop legend's death, von Hohenberg's lens captured a veritable time capsule of the social swirl of the era that Warhol had such a hand in shaping.
Andy Warhol was the centrifuge of an artistic and social set that remixed the cocktail of café society to include everything from porn stars and princes, pop music stars and international society figures, movie stars and drag queens, and the dynamic cast of dozens of the eras major figures (many now deceased) that attended the memorial service of April 1, 1987. In addition to speakers Yoko Ono and Picasso biographer John Richardson, attendants included such major artists as David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein, Keith Haring, Robert Mapplethorpe, Francesco Clemente and Julian Schnabel. Other personalities included Debbie Harry, Diane von Furstenberg, Bianca Jagger, Halston, Liza Minnelli, Paloma Picasso, George Plimpton, Ahmet Ertegun, Dominick Dunne, Henry Geldzahler, Claus von Bulow, Leo Castelli, Holly Solomon, Steven Sprouse and many others. The book is a vibrant record of one of the most exciting eras in New York's cultural life from the swinging sixties through the increasingly edgy 1970s and up to the heady 1980s that was started in the haze of Studio 54 and ended with the ravages of AIDS. Andy Warhol: The Day The Factory Died is a fitting tribute to the Pop master whose seemingly soulless art was frequently tinged with the pathos of death.
Customer Reviews:
Great Layout.......2007-01-10
I have known the author/photographer and his family for many years and was amazed at the quality of this projetc. Warhol would have liked it. I hope there are not too many younger people who are not aware of what all this means (Warhol) it shaped a lot of things that today we take for granted.
BRILLIANT BOOK!.......2006-12-14
A long awaited tome, this is a really quite perfect little time capsule. Von Hohenberg captured the elite of NYC at Andy Warhol's last "happening" -- his memorial service -- and the letters that each famous person wrote are an excellent complement to the photos.
It is beautifully presented -- very much like a hip little Smythson diary chronicling the era. Usually, a book about a memorial service does not grab me as a must-have, but this one is!
Fun to read, fun to look at --- fashion, New York society, the art world -- it's all there in this elegantly crafted book from one of my favorite fine art photographers.
Mark Robinow Art Dealer.......2006-11-07
The book is produced beautifully and has some very strong images. The idea and the whole concept of the book combining images with letters of Warhol friends writing about him is unique. A must have for all art and photography lovers.
Massive.......2006-10-27
An 80's time capsule wrapped inside a Warhol designed frontspiece inside a bible... Andy would be proud. Besides the photography (printing seems meticulous), there are letters to Andy from various media figures and insightful essays. If you think about modern art at all, you should own this book.

Warhol Memoir
ASIN: 8881583798
Release Date: 2002-08-02 |
Book Description
Andy Warhol called Christopher Makos "the most modern photographer in America." The man who first introduced Warhol to the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring here presents the photographic remains of their more than 10 years of intimate friendship and frequent collaboration. For the first time ever, all of Warhol's camouflage portraits, taken by Makos under the direct supervision of the artist himself, appear together, in full-page reproductions complete with Warhol's touch-ups and markings. In the photographic portraits that Warhol regarded as genuine self-portraits, he appears dressed up and in drag, wearing colored wigs and make-up, looking melancholic and shameless. Published in collaboration with Edition Bruno Bischofberger, Zurich.

Makos' Lens and Warhol's Lipstick.......2002-09-25
During a collaborative art-project in the early 1980s, Christopher Makos, a brilliant artist in his own right, transformed the Pop artist Andy Warhol into a bi-gendered diva. Always on the cutting edge, and documenting the... subcultures of NYC and beyond, Makos brilliantly captures Warhol's other persona... anti-normative persona -- it is important to note that Warhol often requested interviewers and the like to call him *Ms. Andy Warhol* -- which is materialized in these photographs.
This Makos/Warhol collaborative art-project, entitled _Altered Images_, is also a wonderful homage and extension of the 1920s Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp collaboration, entitled _Rrose Selavy_, in which Duchamp performed himself as beautiful bourgeois woman in front of Man Ray's camera.
From Makos' black and white photographs to his black and white contact sheets, with slashes of color that both frame and un-frame Warhol in his gloriously outrageous poses, wigs, and makeup, this new art book by Makos is a must have for anyone and everyone interested in the art of Makos, the image of Warhol, and the collaboration of artists -- especially two important and influential artists such as Makos and Warhol. Indeed, this art book will expand our current collective image and general understanding of Warhol and his many personas. We can only thank Makos for producing such important, brilliant, and engaging photographs. - Robert

Book Description
New York City, the 1960s: Inside a ramshackle studio known as The Factory, the post-war art world encountered the industrial revolution. For more than two years, Nat Finkelstein was on the scene, documenting the explosive emergence of Pop Art, a subversive spectacle created by the constantly calculating Andy Warhol. Andy Warhol: The Factory Years is an extraordinary photographic account of the twisted, the addicted, the nameless, and the famous. As a member of the club, Finkelstein discreetly captured icons in the making, including Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, Edie Sedgwick, and Nico, along with such legends of another era as Salvador Dali and Marcel Duchamp. And, of course, Warhol himself. Engagingly sequenced by renowned design firm Pentagram, Andy Warhol: The Factory Years features Finkelstein's seminal black-and-white photographs, in addition to several series of previously unpublished color photographs that were thought lost for the past three decades. Finkelstein accompanies these striking images with vivid memories, poetic recollections, and acerbic commentary, providing both visual and intellectual insight into the culture of The Factory.

Worth buying but only just: color photos a big plus!.......2003-11-17
It is not a little ironic that the photographic record of an artist as prolific and as wrapped up in making and taking film and photographs as Andy Warhol was suffers from a dearth of great photos of the scene of Andy Warhol, The Factory and his Superstars: For real. I mean, I would love to own a book that is just chockablock full of all of the characters, primary, secondary, tertiary and beyond who populate the pages of the many books about Andy Warhol and the Warhol Experience. Unfortunately, there just doesn't seem to be any out there. Most of the books by and about the actors in the Warhol drama are text-based with a few, often the same few, grainy, shadowy, poorly framed black & whites. This book is an attempt by one to bring together more and better photos that fans such as I desire. It is a fair effort but only just. The book is over-size or 'folio' form which is GREAT, and mostly photographs. The text is composed of an opening statement of a couple of pages of over-sized type by the author followed by lots of photographs. The essays contain some valuable information that have the ring of truth to them, but they also seem spontaneous, off-the-cuff and free associative and as a result are not easy to follow. They are more blurted out than intoned, if you get me. The book is printed in the UK on non-glossy heavy stock. I'm unsure if this was done to save money or to impart a flat, gritty, industrial feel to the photos. It is a different look than anything else out there about Warhol and I can live with it; although, I catch myself wondering what this book would look like if done on really expensive, glossy paper with top notch production values. The author explains at one point that his photos were criticized by media critics for being odd and unconventional. He states that today this is recognized as a somewhat ground-breaking and very original and excellent representation of the scene. I think that they are a bit odd and unconventional. There are some great shots there though, and the author gets some portraits of Edie Sedgewick that are heart-breakingly prescient in retrospect. There are a couple great shots of Nico too and, of course, Andy. I was pleased to see some good ones of Taylor Mead and Paul Morissey which is a refreshing change; although, I must say that it would have been cool to see how the author would have represented Andy's mother, Billy Name, and Andrea Feldman. Oh, well, I suppose one must be happy with what one can get. I believe that if you are a huge Warhol admirer such as I you would be mad to not own this. If you are curious but indifferent to Warhol and the scene, right now as I speak you can buy this book right here on Amazon for a fraction of what it is worth and you should buy it NOW. If you don't care for Andy Warhol or care about him this book will certainly not change your mind so don't bother.

Customer Reviews:
Location, location, ..........2005-09-09
... location. If you'd been there, you probably could have taken a collection of photographs of at least equal caliber. What matters in these photos is who is in them, with little apparent attention to the construction of the shots.
So if you'd like to see mediocre photographs but of extraordinary 2nd Factory regulars at that Factory as well as Max's Kansas City and Central Park, this may be your book. It may beat looking at nothing, they may bring you back to a special time.
The value for me lies in a 13 page interview with Billy Name. If you are trying to understand the mysteries of Warhol and his Factories, Billy Name would be a great source of information. Think silver.
You can also (September 2005) see Billy Name photos, mostly black and white, at his web site. He also has some interviews there he was the subject of.
"Artistic" rather than informative.......2003-10-03
Billy Name was there and has one-zillion photographs from which to choose, so I was truly disappointed by the "artistic" crud he chose to print. I wanted to see real photographs of real people, not how clever he was at "conveying the feeling" of the time. I resent this book because it could've been so much better. I didn't buy it to see Name's artistic view of a momentary, yet monumental, era. I bought it hoping I could study people's faces, stances, outfits, the background. I wanted to study the pictures and respond to them all by myself without the photographer hammering me with images amounting to dogma. I mean, the Empire State Building? Yeah, that's really deep and cuts to the heart of things. Name needs to share, not hoard. But lucky for us all, he was there with a camera and actually took pictures. And of all the Warhol set, Name's autobiography would be one of the most interesting.
Eye Candy to the bone...........2000-07-31
The interview w/Billy is great, the pix capture the air of the crowd and the essence of their era...but i wasn't satisfied; it captured the Factory kids but not the factory itself. And the info therein was relatively limited.
i feel this book is meant for appreciation and sheer sight-enjoyment, something to be left as an exclamation rather than an explanation.
best sixties new york color photography-a work of art!.......1999-07-08
a surprisingly refreshing view of the warhol sixties. shots of lou reed and the velvet underground very initmate. name was really decades ahead of current popular art photographers with his brilliant surrealistic color and funky format!
Billy Name captures the Heart of Warhol's Factory.......1998-11-18
Billy Name has released most likely the most important pictures from the famous Andy Warhol Factory. In ALL TOMMOROW'S PARTIES, Billy captures the true depths of the list of characters in the Warholian 1960s. Shot in brilliant color we get to see what the people really looked like and see that they were not all star's but real people with hearts. This book is a must for any Warhol fan, photographer, or someone with an interest in the 60s.

Book Description
Between 1982 and 1987 Andy Warhol created 503 works composed of black-and-white photographic prints stitched together with thread. Indebted to his earlier silkscreen paintings, these works were also the result of lifelong photographic exploration and a prolific decade when the artist shot over 124,000 frames. In an effort to interpret Warhol's enigmatic photographic series, this study contextualizes them within the history of photography and the art world of the 1980s. William Ganis demonstrates how Warhol manipulates the tenets of modern art photography to create ambiguity in the perception of the images.
Book Description
The power in Warhol's portraits stems in part from the depth of his engagement with the society his subjects moved in. Nowhere is this involvement more clearly demonstrated than in his late photography. These previously unpublished images from the Andy Warhol Foundation reveal the reality behind the curtain at Studio 54 and the Factory, and look into the bloodshot eyes of the endless throng of celebrities that came to make up the artist's social life. If there had remained in Warhol something of the true voyeur, an alternately detached and star-struck watcher, that role largely shifted as he himself became visible in celebrity's funhouse mirrors, and became a more profoundly involved and then again more fascinated participant; Warhol's World finds the artist at the far end of that transition, at one with his subjects, all lost to themselves and found by the camera. Warhol's own position in the New York scene brought him unparalleled access to subjects like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Mick Jagger, Debbie Harry, Diana Ross, Robert Rauschenberg, Jerry Hall, Bianca Jagger, Grace Jones, Demi Moore, David Hockney, Kenny Scharf, Diana Vreeland, Paloma Picasso and Ozzy Ozbourne, and this extensive book establishes--if there was any doubt--that Warhol cared deeply about human society, human interaction, and human frailty, and took intense joy in documenting them in the microcosm that was his Village.

A great collection of Andy Warhol's works in the celebrity-circle but it could have been published in a better format.

Book Description
Freshly arrived in New York from his native UK, David McCabe was contacted in early 1964 by Andy Warhol after the artist had seen a layout by the young photographer in the pages of "Mademoiselle". McCabe was assigned the gigantic and very Warholesque project of documenting the artist's life for a whole year. Warhol would, spontaneously and on a regular basis for that whole year, call and invite McCabe to his studio, or to whatever event he was about to attend. Some 2500 photographs later, McCabe had succeeded in capturing Andy in the most various events and settings that characterized his life at the time: Andy chatting with Barnett Newman at some Fifth Avenue art openings, Andy at the crowded and psychedelic parties at the Factory, Andy drinking his morning coffee at the diner around the corner, Andy working on the first "Flower" paintings in his studio with assistant Gerard Malanga, Andy and Edie Sedgwick preparing to shoot a movie scene, Andy alone, Andy with! William Burroughs, Richard Avedon, Dennis Hopper, Philip Johnson, and much more. 1964-65 was a crucial year in Warhol's career, and also possibly the time when his public image started playing a major role in the construction of his legend. McCabe's images were in the end never used by Warhol, and they constitute an astonishing documentation of his life. Warhol is known for always playing a role in front of cameras, to a point where it was difficult to say whether he was posing or not. However ambiguous the limit between the public and private Andy is, McCabe's images somehow go beyond this ambiguity, and McCabe's camera was like an accessory that Warhol became used to carrying with and around him. These images are not only a valuable documentation of one of the most important artist of the postwar period, they are also an insight into the world and people that surrounded Warhol, into the New York art world when Pop Art was at its peak. McCabe selected 450 of the most significant 2500 pictures, organized here in chronological order. David Dalton, who took part in many of the events organized at the Factory at that time and became an insider to Warhol's world, wrote the captions and short stories that accompany McCabe's pictures. These writings reveal unique facts, stories, and anecdotes about Warhol and the community of cellebrities that surrounded him.
