Appendix B: Andy Warhol Screen Tests: A Chronology
The information in this chronology comes from a variety of sources. Dates when Screen Tests were shot were often found written on the film boxes or were obtained from other sources, as noted in individual Screen Test entries. Some exhibition dates were obtained from the “Film-makers’ Income and Expense Balance Sheet” from the Film-Maker’s Cooperative, which distributed Warhol’s films between 1964 and 1968.1“Andy Warhol: Film-Maker’s Income and Expense Balance Sheet,” Film-Makers’ Cooperative, New York, Time Capsule 39, AWM. Although it seems likely that EPI Background reels of Screen Tests were projected at most if not all performances of Andy Warhol Up-Tight and the Exploding Plastic Inevitable, only those EPI dates where screenings of Screen Tests were documented in photographs or mentioned in contemporary newspaper or magazine articles have been included; a complete chronology of EPI and Velvet Underground performances can be found at the Velvet Underground Web Page, http://members.aol.com/olandem/vu.html.
Since the first reels of Screen Tests were preserved by MoMA in 1995, there have been various screenings and exhibitions of these films. These contemporary exhibitions are not included in this historical listing.
