Billy Name The Silver Age; Black and White Photographs from Andy Warhol’s Factory

‘Billy’s photos were the only thing that ever came close to capturing the feel of the 1960s Silver Factory.’ – Andy WarholnThis 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.
