Having featured work in Harper's Bazaar, Life, French Vogue, and French Elle, British photographer David McCabe steps back in time to one of his most memorable commissions—photographing a year in the life of Andy Warhol.
In this Matthew Placek-directed film, McCabe traveled to Connecticut to revisit the iconic modernist glass house of American architect Philip Johnson, an escapist home for Andy Warhol and other visionary twentieth-century artists taking a break from the hubbub of New York City.
“McCabe is a stealthy voyeur who recorded a moment that would define a time," says Placek. "To have been invited into the Warhol Factory circle, at least as a photographer, I suspect one’s personality prerequisites must include charm, modesty, and being unassuming. David inhabits all three with earnest sincerity.”
The Glass House forms part of A Walking History, an ongoing series collaboration between Placek and the National Trust for Historic Sites.
