The Velvet Forum

Lou at the luncheonette on the corner of 47th Street and 3rd Avenue, 1967 by Billy Name (who is not very well at the moment, get well soon Mr Name)

Just wonder if Billy made out this rare Nico's portrait.Looks an early picture,might be a sort of club-backstage somewhere in NY.

Billy get well soon

Billy get well soon (slight return)



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.

Ray Johnson helping Andy Warhol film Jill Johnston Dancing at the Factory, 1964. Photo: Billy Name.

Beautiful postcard iaredatsun,a gang of genious.Those were arty-times so I'm thinking in Jill Johnston or other female sixties artist.

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.

Stunig factory colour pictures,a kinda feeling of get into the silver place.No clue about the photographer just recall Billy on second
factory pix till his departure.And the last one come from Andy Warhol museum,any information about it,only's a 1970 picture,I bet for some night at Max's Kansas City though.
