Photographer Billy Name had unmatched access to Andy Warhol’s in the 1960s, becoming The Factory’s resident photographer and a key member of its inner circle.
“Billy caught the energy of the Factory scene, but also its sense of sanctuary – a place where the freaks and outsiders could merge with the glamorous under the democratic gaze of Andy’s Super 8.” Sean O’Hagan, The Guardian
Billy Name lived in a tiny cupboard at the Factory, and undertook the now-iconic silverizing project that gave the studio its infamous Silver Factory title. Billy went about laboriously covering every inch of the building in silver foil and silver spray paint. Upon completion, Warhol gave Billy a Pentax Honeywell 35mm camera and appointed him the Factory’s resident photographer and archivist. The photographs Billy took of Warhol, the Factory, and entourage would become one of the most significant visual records ever made of any artist’s career.
