The Factory was Andy Warhol's studio in New York City, which had four locations between 1963 and 1987. The Factory became famed for its parties in the 1960s. It was the hip hangout spot for artists, musicians, celebrities and Warhol's superstars. The original Factory was often referred to as the Silver Factory. In the studio, Warhol's workers would make silkscreens and lithographs under his direction.

This trunk was used in Warhol's Silver Factory as a storage unit and film prop. Edie Sedgwick sits on this trunk in Vinyl.[citation needed] After Warhol's death in 1987, inside the trunk were found photographs, and photographic negatives by Billy Name, as well at the script of Up Your Ass by Valerie Solanas, which Warhol repeatedly told Solanas he had lost. This was one of the compounding reasons Solanas shot Warhol in 1968.[citation needed]
