Description
Factory showcases Warhol's Factory through the lens of a young Stephen Shore, providing an insider view of this extraordinary moment and place.
Stephen Shore was just 17 years old when he began frequenting The Factory—Andy Warhol's legendary studio in Manhattan. From 1965 to 1967, Shore spent nearly every day there, capturing images of its diverse cast of characters ranging from musicians to actors, artists to writers. Notable figures such as Edie Sedgwick, Lou Reed, Nico, and Warhol himself were among those immortalised by Shore's camera.
This book presents a personal selection of photographs from Shore's extensive collection, offering a unique perspective of this remarkable period and setting, as seen through the eyes of one of photography's most cherished practitioners.
