The Art of Simulating Eagle Feathers
"They are better talked about than seen" Warhol said in the 1980's about the films that were made during the heyday of the Silver Factory. The Silver Factory became when Billy Linich (later Name) in early 1964 covered with tin foil and silver paint the interior of an old hat factory close to the UN building in midtown Manhattan that Warhol had rented as his studio space. This fantastic book focuses on the film making that took place during the, in retrospective, very short but glamorous period of the existence of the Silver Factory from 1964 to early 1968. During that period until being shot by Valerie Solanas in the summer of 1968, Warhol was mostly engaged in film making. In 1965 he even announced that he had retired from painting (he did make paintings during that period but only to finance his filming activities).
In this book, Steven Watson, explores Warhol thru the lives of the characters who orbited around the Silver Factory. He does a great job as his approach allows him to provide different angles to look at Warhol and his art and many interesting facts are revealed that are new even to those who have knowledge about Warhol and the New York underground scene in the sixties.
This is a highly enjoyable book which proves once again that Warhol was right about that it is great to read about underground films and film making whereas it is often painfully boring to watch them. Jonas Mekas would probably disagree with my latter proposition but fully agree with the former.
