Foiled Again

Andy Warhol’s back at The Factory and it looks like he has to wait outside like the rest of us. The Andy Monument, a tribute to the father of Pop Art, was created by Rob Pruitt and unveiled in NYC on March 30, 2011. He’s been frozen in time, circa 1977, with Levi’s 501s, a Brooks Brothers blazer, a Medium Brown Bag from Bloomingdales and a Polaroid camera around his neck. He stands at the northwest corner of Union Square where his Factory nightclub used to be as well as the second site of his Factory studio. The original aluminum foil covered workspace was on East 47th Street.
