■The Chelsea Girls by Andy Warhol

The 1966 film The Chelsea Girls, directed by Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey, is an experimental feature-length semi-documentary set in the rooms of the Hotel Chelsea, showcasing various women living in New York.

It is known as the biggest box office hit of all the films that Warhol directed, and is considered a valuable, symbolic record of the Factory scene and 1960s New York. This book provides a detailed introduction to the film, newly digitized by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), as well as the unpublished script and information on the individual films that make up the film.
