A beautiful original photograph of The Velvet Underground with Nico, Andy Warhol, Mary Woronov and Gerard Malanga at Warhol’s Silver Factory in 1966, taken by longtime Warhol associate and Factory photographer Billy Name.

This large original print measures approximately 12″x 18”, and is signed on the reverse by Billy Name, who added “Printed 2013″.  We acquired this in a trade from Billy Name’s publisher, and it is in brand new, perfect condition.

This image was exhibited as part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Andy Warhol retrospective, “Regarding Warhol, Sixty Artists, Fifty Years.”  In December 2014, Billy Name was the subject of a one-man exhibition at Milk Gallery in New York, celebrating the release of his book “Billy Name: The Silver Age” (which also features this image.)
