POPism

A cultural storm swept through the 1960s - Pop Art, psychedelia, Bob Dylan, underground film-making - and at its centre in New York was Andy Warhol. His studio, the Manhattan loft known as the Factory, was the hub of the '60s scene, the place where he created the large canvases of soup cans and cultural icons that defined Pop Art, where everyone from Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground to Edie Sedgwick could be found, where Chelsea Girls and Warhol's other classics were shot and where Warhol himself could observe these extraordinary times. Anecdotal, funny and frank, POPism is the ultimate insider's account of the decade that changed the world.
