MOVIE POSTER - FINAL DESIGN

A lot of poster designs are so iconic that movie viewers instantly remember the imagery when thinking about the film itself.

I am happy with my final movie poster. It meets all the important criteria.

Putting Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick shows their importance and people knowing them will straight away know what the film is about. Colours and styles used in the poster match the theme. The title and tinfoil references to Andy's art and the Factory itself.

His claim to fame was that Nat Finkelstein was the house photographer of the FACTORY. The complex which housed the studios of Andy Warhol.

(The Factory was Andy Warhol’s New York City studio, which had three different locations between 1962 and 1984. The original Factory was on the fifth floor at 231 East 47th Street, in Midtown Manhattan. The rent was one hundred dollars per year.[1] Warhol left in 1967 when the building was scheduled to be torn down to make way for an apartment building. He then relocated his studio to the sixth floor of the Decker Building at 33 Union Square West near the corner of East 16th Street, where he was shot in 1968 by Valerie Solanas. The Factory was revamped and remained there until 1973. It moved to 860 Broadway at the north end of Union Square. Although this space was much larger, not much filmmaking took place there. In 1984 Warhol moved his remaining ventures, no longer including filming, to 22 East 33rd Street, a conventional office building)

In September 1962 Finkelstein was commissioned by Pageant magazine to do an article on the emerging Pop Art movement. The article was titled “What happens at a Happening?” it covered a Claes Oldenburg “happening” in Greenwich Village and was a break that would define his future. Two years later, while attending a party at the Factory, Finkelstein met Warhol, who had seen his photographs of Oldenburg’s “happening” in Pageant. Finkelstein offered his services as a photographer to the artist, and for the next three years he was a constant presence at the Factory. His iconic images of the include subjects such as the Velvet Underground performing live, Marcel Duchamp, Bob Dylan, Edie Sedgwick, Salvador Dalí, and Allen Ginsberg.

Factory photographer and Lou Reed's 'worst' person: the legacy of Nat Finkelstein

The photographer was unfairly cut out of the Factory’s inner circle – why is his work overlooked?

Who are the worst three people in the world? Back in the mid-to-late-1960s, you had quite a few to choose from. However, when Lou Reed picked his trio there was, really, only one name on the list. “The three worst people in the world,” said Reed back in 1967, “are Nat Finkelstein and two speed dealers.”

Reed’s frustration with a poor amphetamine supply is understandable. His dislike for one of the most dedicated and talented photographers to shoot the Velvet Underground in their prime, as well as Warhol and many other Factory luminaries, needs more unpacking.

Museo Jumex is currently exhibiting, “Andy Warhol. Dark Star”, which includes one-hundred original paintings, silk-prints, films, installations, sculptures, photography and archived material by the artist. The exhibition, set forth by guest curator Douglas Fogle, underlines Utopian promises, the dark side of media culture and consumerism in the postwar era, and is put into context with Andy Warhol’s work as his first paintings were developed during the 60′s.

The dark side of media culture is something Andy Warhol showed special interest to, as he choose Marylin Monroe, Elvis Presley and Jackie Kennedy, which all had tragic endings, as protagonist in his silkscreen painting. It would be most interesting for Andy Warhol to witness the impact of social media has made to current pop culture and see how his prediction “in the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes” rings true. So much so that powers have shifted.

In further researching Andy Warhol, I learned that he was an introvert and very observant. I believe he was able to observe that the future would be shaped by youth and media outlets. He was able to witness two mega stars, Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley, turn into power houses because of their talent and controversy on television. Elvis Presley televised shaking his hips on Live TV during his performance on the Ed Sullivan Show caused an uproar among spectators as it came across too sexual. In a post war era, Warhol also witness how social hierarchy was disintegrating and saw this as an opportunity for the youth to have a voice. Barriers were being broken and the powers were shifting.

In the fashion industry, the previous is relatable in a sense where it is no longer up top executives and buyers who make the decisions on what to sell at retail stores. That power has been shifted to social media influencers such as bloggers, photographers capturing street style and consumer. As bloggers snap their daily outfits or inspirations, its easy to tell what type of style they look for when they shop. Same goes for designers as they look to the streets to see what the new buzz is (see Marc Jacobs Fall 2017 RTW Collection). In order for runway collections to be relevant, creative directors must also be in touch with consumer in a way that they combine practicality, style and “Instagramability” (meaning how appealing an item is to share it on Instagram). In my point of view, Alessandro Michele, creative director at Gucci, has been able to combine all three, as well make a high-end brand down to earth by including skateboarders as influencers (see Gucci Ghost on IG), and Street Art used to campaign.

“Andy Warhol. Dark Star” will be exhibiting at Museo Jumex in Mexico City until September 2017. Due to the success, visiting hours have been extended: Tuesday - Saturday 11AM to 9PM, Sunday (Free Admission) 11 AM - 8PM, Mondays - Closed. Fridays after 4PM admission is free.

Guided Group Tours: Tuesday - Sunday 10AM-11AM reservations at grupos@fundacionjumex.com

"IT'S EASY TO SEE DYLAN AS THE UN-ANDY..." -- A MEETING FOR THE AMERICAN HISTORY BOOKS IN '66.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on shots of Bob Dylan dropping in on the infamous Factory, NYC (Andy Warhol, Gerard Malanga, and Barbara Rubin were present for the event), c. 1966. 📸: Nat Finkelstein.

OVERVIEW: "It’s easy to see Bob Dylan as the un-Andy: Jewish to Andy’s Catholic, straight to Andy’s gay; audio to Andy’s visual. And the Dylan camp, though heavy into amphetamines, was also heavy into downers — pot and heroin — while the Factory was Speedy Gonzalez central, amphetamines all the way.

Says Fields, “Dylan and Grossman [Dylan’s manager] didn’t like Andy, didn’t like the Factory. They were telling Edie that we were a bunch of fags who hated women, that we’d destroy her. Supposedly Grossman was going to manage her, and Dylan was going to make a movie with her. It never happened, but there was talk.’’

Of course, from a present-day vantage point, Dylan and Andy seem pretty evenly matched in terms of influence and renown. Not so in 1965, the year Dylan went electric. Says Jonathan Taplin, a former road manager for Grossman, “Music was huge at the time. As far as the counterculture was concerned, it was it. And there was no bigger star in music than Bob Dylan.” Edie’s head was turned.""
