Gerard Malanga's Secret Cinema

GERARD MALANGA’S SECRET CINEMA

GERARD MALANGA - Widely regarded as one of the most important poets and photographers of his generation, Malanga's work has appeared in hundreds of publications over the last six decades. As a young man in the 1960s, he was Andy Warhol's chief assistant and collaborator, helping Warhol create his most important paintings, publications, and movies from 1963-70. During this period, Malanga created a large body of his own movies which remain largely unseen to this day. 

In 2012, editor and archivist Dagon James, with Malanga, set out to create the definitive monograph of his movies. Gerard Malanga's Secret Cinema documents nearly every movie he created from 1964-70 with detailed film notes by Malanga himself. Over the years, Malanga's films were scattered and in some cases only one print exists which made this book uniquely difficult to complete. Many of Malanga's films were shot at Andy Warhol's Silver Factory and capture notable moments with visitors like Salvador Dalí, Jack Smith, Donovan and Bob Dylan. Additional film subjects include Edie Sedgwick, Mary Woronov, Loulou de la Falaise, Charles Olson, John Wieners, Allen Midgette, Susan Bottomly (International Velvet), Rene Ricard, John Wilcock, Cecil Beaton, Candy Darling, Roger Vadim, Jane Fonda and The Velvet Underground, among many others.

One of the most important films in Malanga's body of work is his series of movie portraits of Andy Warhol from 1964-65. Comprised of seven individual 3-minute reels, Andy Warhol: Portraits of the Artist as a Young Man is the most intimate portrait of the artist ever captured to film.
