We present Andy Warhol’s epic double-screen masterpiece The Chelsea Girls in a new digital film transfer. Each of the film’s segments are tableaux featuring beauty, sex, drugs, and danger that give viewers a genuine glimpse into Warhol’s 1960s underground world. The film screens in celebration of the new publication Andy Warhol’s The Chelsea Girls edited and with text by the museum’s film curators Geralyn Huxley and Greg Pierce.
