ANDY WARHOL'S 'FACTORY'

Andy Warhol, pop art painter, avant-garde filmmaker, writer, printmaker, record producer (The Velvet Underground,...), album cover designer (The Velvet Underground, The Rolling Stones, John Cale, Miguel Bosé), perhaps the most quoted artist over the last 40 years and a great influence on the New Wave and on musicians such as David Bowie or Devo.
This excellent video starts with Bowie's song 'Andy Warhol', included in a great album called 'Hunky Dory' and then Lou Reed's 'Take a Walk On the Wild Side' takes the lead. All wonderfully accompanied by some fine footage of Warhol's films featuring women who revolt against men. And of course, Joe D'Alessandro. I hope you enjoy it.
