"Upon arriving at The Factory, a new sitter would be treated to lunch and libations before joining Warhol for an in-depth taped interview. Quickly, Warhol would move to the studio where women would typically have white makeup applied to the face to even their features and be wrapped in a cloth around the chest in order to establish a classical framework for the portrait. Warhol would often take as many as 300 Polaroid photographs in a single sitting in order to break through the persona and get to the real personality of the subject."
