Below is more information about the photographer, Billy name, and the three Warhol superstars featured in this silver gelatin print:

BILLY NAME (Photographer)
William George Linich (February 22, 1940 – July 18, 2016), known professionally as Billy Name, was an American photographer, filmmaker, and lighting designer. He was the archivist of The Factory from 1964 to 1970. His brief romance and subsequent friendship with Andy Warhol led to substantial collaboration on Warhol's work, including his films, paintings, and sculptures. Linich became Billy Name among the clique known as the Warhol superstars. He was responsible for "silverizing" Warhol's New York studio, the Factory, where he lived until 1970. His photographs of the scene at the Factory and of Warhol are important documents of the pop art era

VIVA
Janet Susan Mary Hoffmann (born August 23, 1938), known professionally as Viva, is an American actress, writer and former Warhol superstar. She was given the name Viva by Andy Warhol before the release of her first film but later used her married last name (Auder). She appeared in several of Warhol's films and was a frequent guest at the Factory. Viva was on the phone with Andy Warhol when he was shot by Valerie Solanas in 1968

Susan Bottomly (aks International Velvet)
Susan Dunn Whittier Bottomly (born October 1, 1948), also known as International Velvet, is a former American model and actress. She came from an upper class Boston family, and ended up starring in several Warhol Films. She would later go on to open her own modeling agency.

Ultra Violet
Isabelle Collin Dufresne (6 September 1935 – 14 June 2014), known professionally as Ultra Violet (because of her purple hair and wardrobe) was a French-American, artist, author, and both a colleague of Andy Warhol and one of his so-called Superstars. Earlier in her career, she worked for and studied with surrealist artist Salvador Dalí. Dufresne lived and worked in New York City, and also had a studio in Nice, France.
