Anthology Film Archives (USA)

In 1982, New York City’s Second Avenue Court House was converted into the new home of the Anthology Film Archives. Warhol created the Eric Emerson (Chelsea Girls) print as part of a portfolio of thirteen works that celebrated the Archives new location. Actor Eric Emerson was a prominent feature throughout Warhol’s films and his social circle. The print translates Warhol’s Chelsea Girls movie into a still screenprint, offering a new and exciting artifact related to his most commercially successful film, which he created in 1966.
