Billy Name: The Silver Age (Super Deluxe Edition)

450 pages of photographs from the Silver Era of Warhol's Factory.

Includes an 8x10" print of Warhol at the World's Fair signed by Billy Name, and 7 contributor signatures on the letter, housed in a clamshell box with a tipped-on photo.

The definitive and comprehensive collection of Billy Name’s black-and-white photographs from Warhol’s Factory. Name’s photographs from this period (1964–68) are one of the most important photographic documents of any single artist in history.

Name lived in a tiny closet at the Factory. He was responsible for the legendary “silverizing” of the space using aluminum paint and foil to complete the instillation. When Warhol gave Name a Pentax Honeywell 35mm camera, he took on the role of resident photographer and archivist. This visual essay, produced in collaboration with Billy name, offers an extensive trip through Warhol’s world. Name 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, and filming Screen Tests and features such as Chelsea Girls, Vinyl, and My Hustler.

Contributor signatures include: Billy Name, Allen Midgette, Robert Heide, Bibbe Hansen, Danny Fields, Anastasia Rygle and Dagon James
