Description: Andy Warhol's 1966 movie 'The Chelsea Girls' is the iconic document of the Factory scene and 1960s New York. Filmed in part at the Chelsea Hotel with Factory Superstars like Nico, Ondine, Brigid Berlin, Gerard Malanga and Mary Woronov, 'The Chelsea Girls' was Warhol's first commercially successful film. In honor of the 24th anniversary of The Andy Warhol Museum, the publication of 'Andy Warhol's 'The Chelsea Girls'' coincides with a major project undertaken by the Andy Warhol Museum to digitize hundreds of his well-known and never-before-seen films. The book is an in-depth treatment of the film, featuring stills from the newly digitized, previously unpublished transcripts and archival materials, and expanded information about each of the individual films that comprise 'The Chelsea Girls'. The film's alternation of sound between the left and right screens is reproduced in the publication's complete, as-heard transcript printed directly alongside imagery from the corresponding reels on silver metallic paper to evoke an authentic experience of the film. Also included are previously unpublished transcriptions of unheard reels.
