Film was the perfect medium for Andy Warhol. A visual artist fascinated with popular culture and mass production, Warhol was attracted to the deceptive ease of creating images with a movie camera, and he was drawn to a medium that allowed for voyeurism and cool detachment. Turning his studio, the Factory, into an avant-garde version of a Hollywood soundstage, Warhol created a prolific body of work between 1963 and 1968, films that are astonishingly rich in pictorial and behavioral nuance. Organized by Chief Curator David Schwartz.
