Summary: 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 The book is an in-depth treatment of the film, featuring stills from the newly digitized, previously unpublished transcripts and archival materials, and expanded information about each of the individual films that comprise 'The Chelsea Girls'.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 Also included are previously unpublished transcriptions of unheard reels.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Andy Warhol's The Chelsea Girls had its premiere at the Film-Maker's Cinémathèque on 15 September 1966. It sold out a 200-seat theatre and went on to become the first film to move from the underground to commercial cinema. Since 1972, when Warhol pulled all of his films out of distribution, the public has had extremely limited access to The Chelsea Girls , outside of museum screenings. In honour of the 20th Anniversary of The Andy Warhol Museum and what would have been Warhol's 85th birthday, hundreds of Warhol's films - some never seen before - have been converted to a digital format with the partnership of The Andy Warhol Museum, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Moving Picture Company (MPC), a Technicolor Company.This book is an in-depth look at Warhol's most famous film. It includes all newly digitized film stills, never-before-published transcripts, unpublished archival materials, and expanded information about each of the individual films that comprise the three- plus hour film. As the film alternates sound between the left and right screens, the book reproduces the transcript in complete form as one hears it, with imagery from the corresponding reels. There is also a full transcription of the unheard reels in the back of the book. This is a substantial contribution to the scholarship on Warhol's complex and most commercial film.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
