The Neon Factory's Top Ten Andy Warhol Quotes

Andy Warhol procured Billy Name to decorate the original Factory completely in silver. So it was dubbed the Silver Factory. It would eventually change addresses and interior designing but the essence of what the Factory was supposed to encapsulate remained the same.

The Factory was about creativity and art while the creatives at work had a good time expressing without censorship - as the factory set a scene as to what the sexual revolution of the 60’s in America was all about. Andy Warhol’s art commented on mainstream America while disregarding the conservative social views. So much of his filmed work at the Factory featured nudity, graphic sexuality, drug use, same-sex relations and transgender characters to an epic scale compared to the mainstream media at the time… or even today?
