'Chelsea Girls with Andy Warhol' (English subtitles)
Michel Auder, 1971-76.
"In 1969 Michel Auder began a series of video diaries that chronicled the
art scene in downtown New York. In Chelsea Girls with Andy Warhol,
Auder captures revealing moments in Warhol's public and private life:
the opening of the 1970 Whitney Museum retrospective, a party held at
John Lennon and Yoko Ono's home, a heated telephone conversation between
Warhol, Viva and Brigid Berlin, and an illuminating interview conducted
with Larry Rivers, the grandfather of Pop Art, following the
publication of The Philosophy of Andy Warhol in 1975. The issue of money
is a consistent topic of conversation with Viva, who after departing
the Factory in 1969 sent Warhol a series of threatening letters
demanding money."
