‘Andy always travelled with his entourage, Edie, Chuck and Gerard. They stepped and fetched and loved and protected him. In this shot I tried to capture them as this living whole Shiva God-like entity.’ David McCabe. Whenever Warhol called McCabe, he would come to meet him at The Factory or any place where the artist would decide that he wanted to be accompanied by the photographer and his camera. These images not only represent unique documentation of one of the most significant artists of the twentieth century, but also provide a rare behind-the-scenes look at the New York art world at a time when Pop art was at its peak.’ David Dalton

'In 1964, David McCabe landed the commission of a lifetime, he just didn’t know it yet. A then-relatively unknown artist and illustrator named Andy Warhol was looking for a photographer he felt comfortable with to follow him for a year. The job fell to 24-year-old McCabe, an ex-arts student and photographer from Leicester, England. McCabe had recently moved to New York City at the encouragement – and funding – of his employer back home. McCabe’s own studio was a short walk from the now-infamous Silver Factory at 231 E 47th Street. Warhol, who had possibly seen the amateur’s images in magazines such as LIFE and Mademoiselle, liked his style – but McCabe was asking: ‘Who is Andy Warhol?’ Ashleigh Kane for Dazed
