Steven Watson follows their diverse lives from childhood through their Factory years. He shows how this ever-changing mix of artists and poets, musicians and filmmakers, drag queens, society figures, and fashion models, all interacted at the Factory to create more than 500 films, the Velvet Underground, paintings and sculpture, and thousands of photographs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBetween 1961 and 1964 Warhol produced his most iconic art: the Flower paintings, the Marilyns, the Campbell's Soup Can paintings, and the Brillo Boxes. But it was his films--Sleep, Kiss, Empire, The Chelsea Girls, and Vinyl--that constituted his most prolific output in the mid-1960s, and with this book Watson points up the important and little-known interaction of the Factory with the New York avant-garde film world. Watson sets his story in the context of the revolutionary milieu of 1960s New York: the opening of Paul Young's Paraphernalia, Truman Capote's Black and White Ball, Max's Kansas City, and the Beautiful People Party at the Factory, among many other events. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInterspersed throughout are Watson's trademark sociogram, more than 130 black-and-white photographs--some never before seen--and many sidebars of quotes and slang that help define the Warholian world. With \u003ci\u003eFactory Made, \u003c\/i\u003e Watson has focused on a moment that transformed the art and style of a generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pantheon Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780679423720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.46h x 7.74w x 1.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/29\/2003 pg. 57\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2003 pg. 472\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2004 pg. 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2004 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLambda Book Report\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2004 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Steven Watson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52161293451445,"sku":"9780679423720","price":38.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_05ae8ce3-3ba2-41d5-8b12-cd1ea9e5345c.jpg?v=1768317688","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/factory-made-warhol-and-the-sixties-9780679423720","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
