Billy Name invented the term, Factory Foto. He was the first and he was the last Factory photographer. Period. Gerard Malanga This breathtaking tome is the definitive and comprehensive 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 using aluminium paint and aluminium foil to complete the instillation. 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, offers an extensive trip through Warhol's world. Billy photographed the day-to-day happenings at The Factory with Andy, including visits from Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground, Nico, Edie Sedgwick, Ivy Nicholson and Bob Dylan; filming Screen Tests and features like Chelsea Girls, Vinyl and My Hustler. This volume is not-to-be-missed.

A bold visionary, Art Kane (1925-1995) explored a number of genres - fashion, editorial, celebrity portraiture, travel and nudes - with an unrelenting and innovative eye. Like his contemporaries Guy Bourdin and Helmut Newton, Kane developed a style that didn't shy from strong color, eroticism and surreal humor. In 1958 Kane assembled the greatest legends in jazz and shot what became his most famous image, "Harlem 1958". In the 1960s and 1970s, Kane photographed, among others, the Rolling Stones, The Who, Cream, Janis Joplin, The Doors and Bob Dylan. While the battle for civil rights in America and the Vietnam War raged, Kane was refining a conscientious response to the period with editorial work that was powerfully accessible and populist in its desire to communicate to a large audience. This is the first time Kane's work has been collected into one volume. Beautifully curated, it is a fitting tribute to one of photography's most original and creative forces.

Brigid Berlin was one of the most prominent and colorful members of Andy Warhol's Factory in the 1960s and 1970s. Her legendary personal collection of Polaroids is collected here for the first time and are an intimate, beautiful, artistic, outrageous insight into this iconic period. This wild photographic odyssey featured a foreword by cult filmmaker John Waters. He writes, Brigid was always my favorite underground movie star; big, often naked, and ornery as hell... The Polaroids here show just how wide Brigid's world was; her access was amazing. She was never a groupie, always an insider. Brigid knew everyone and her lens captured them all: celebrities, Superstars, artists, herself, and, of course, Warhol. As Waters observes, through her snaps, Andy was uncovered and revealed like never before. The book also features an introduction by Bob Colacello, editor of Warhol's Interview magazine, and features writer for Vanity Fair: In recording life, she captured our times. By myopically depicting her own transgressions and self- indulgences, she has prophetically reflected the narcissism and exhibitionism, the craving for fame and confusing of fame and infamy that have become the staples of American popular culture. In discussing her style, he reflects, This is the opposite of fashion photography or studio portraiture. Brigid was a realist. What she saw is what you got.
