'The world and their mothers claim to have been part of Warhol's Factory scene, but Gerard Malanga was about as there as you could have got. He was the man who cracked the whip while the Velvet Underground sang on stage; he helped Andy buy his movie cameras; and he was star of many Warhol films. His new book is 'Archiving Warhol.' - Guardian

'You'll know about the work already, and know about the celebrities surrounding the Factory scene, but this account of them is personal, insightful and gives you a glimpse of something so far unseen in this day-glo legend. An essential addition to your bookshelf.' - Boyz

'An extraordinary selfless artistic partnership...and an insightful peek at life at the epicentre of Sixties Pop Art.' - Evening Standard

'The memories of parties, dinners, art, film, literature, New York, Lexington Avenue, sex, drugs and rock and roll are completely captivating. An accessible and compelling read,..and a wonderfully thorough treatment of Andy Warhol.' - Juice

Gerard Malanga was chief assistant at Andy Warhol’s legendary Factory in New York from 1963 - 1970.

As well as helping Warhol produce many works of art, Malanga also appeared in several Warhol movies - including Couch and Chelsea Girls - and even featured as a whip-dancer in the early Velvet Underground. He has since been widely published as a poet and photographer.

Archiving Warhol is a collection of Gerard Malanga’s many writings on, and interviews with, Andy Warhol over the years. It is heavily illustrated by revealing pictures from Malanga’s extensive photographic archive of Warhol and the Factory, including many shots published here for the first time. Subjects include Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground, Nico, Bob Dylan, Edie Sedgwick, and of course Warhol and Malanga himself.

Archiving Warhol provides a unique historical insight into Andy Warhol’s art and philosophy, and is an invaluable document of the Warhol 1960s, one of the most crucial and innovative periods in modern art.
