Publisher's Synopsis
Andy Warhol's 'The Chelsea Girls' had its premiere at the Film-Maker's Cinémathèque on 15th 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. 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 It includes all newly digitized film stills, never-before-published transcripts, unpublished archival materials, and expanded information about each of the individual films that comprise the three-plus hour film.
