What was the name of Andy Warhol's New York studio?

Andy Warhol’s New York studio was called The Factory.

The Factory was more than a conventional artist’s workspace. It served as the center of Warhol’s painting, filmmaking, social, and music-related activities from 1964 to 1987. The name reflected Warhol’s interest in treating art production as a collaborative, almost industrial process rather than a solitary act of creation.

The first famous Factory occupied a loft at 231 East 47th Street in Manhattan. Its walls and furnishings were covered in silver paint and aluminum foil, earning it the nickname “the Silver Factory.” Photographer Billy Name documented the people and activities there, while artists, musicians, writers, actors, and other figures known as Warhol superstars turned the space into a legendary creative gathering place.

The Factory moved several times, including to 33 Union Square West, 860 Broadway, and 158 Madison Avenue. These later locations became increasingly connected with film production, Interview magazine, commissioned portraits, television, and publishing. The name remained attached to Warhol’s changing operations.
