Angus and Hettie in NYC, Warhol photo, Billy Name collection.

This pic appears under a piece on Maclise by Cary Loren. It's small and fuzzy, could be '66?

I was getting 'forbidden' on simon's post, until I used the link directly in my browser. Nice picture.

I wouldn;t know where to start Taxine, but you seem to know all the people in that AW complex story! Can we use Jack Smith's look to date it? I seem to remember another photo you posted where he had that beard. Also, when did Jack Smith stop hanging with Warhol? 1964? Also I now see two people on the couch. You suggest Jill Johnston on the left, but I see now another girl who is having her suspender tweaked by Jack Smith. Who could that be?

Yeah,good eye iradatsun,there's another artist on the right corner of couch behind the mag.and JS's arm..!!
Giving some clasic sense to the portrait,that could be;women 1st row and 2nd the males,because of Warhol got feedback with many artist at the time.I would dated this picture around 64 but it's hard recognaise her,I bet for a girl though.

Thanks for your kind words man. http://www.amazon.com/Dennis-Hopper-Alb ... 3791353489

Thanks for the book reference. Using amazon, I see the book has two Warhol photos by Hopper listed. One of Warhol filming and another - Warhol and members of the factory, which could be this one. Both are 1963.
