New York, 1964. Photojournalist Nat Finkelstein was invited by Pagaent magazine to immortalize the Pop Art scene of the 1960s on glossy paper. For three years, between 1964 and 1967, the New Yorker charted Andy Warhol in his Silver Factory that he opened on January 28, 1964. A hive of artists and provocateurs alike, the studio on the fifth floor of 231 East 47th Street went down in history, at once artists' space, gallery, projection room and nightclub.

Long thought permanently lost to time, these seminal colour photograph resurfaces an invaluable cultural archive. As an intimate member of Warhol’s inner circle, Finkelstein discreetly captured rare, unfiltered moments of icons in the making, including Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, Edie Sedgwick, and Nico, alongside twentieth-century titans Salvador Dalí and Marcel Duchamp. This collection stands as a monumental photographic chronicle, offering unparalleled historical and intellectual insight into the defining counterculture of the twentieth century.

Over time, The Factory changed locations (there were 3 venues in total, always in Manhattan). The first of them, the one we see in the image, was the first one, called the Silver Factory because it was covered with silver paint, tinfoil, and pieces of broken mirrors. Glitter, lots of glitter, for an avant-garde environment where people lived and created at full speed. And in the broken mirrors, the reflection of an era.
