Andy Warhol’s Fourth and Final Factory – The Con Edison Building. According to Bob Colacello, the landlord of the previous Factory at 860 Broadway told Andy Warhol that he would be tripling the rent when the lease expired at the end of 1983. Fred Hughes found the new location – an old Con Edison factory on Madison Avenue between 32nd and 33rd Streets. “The space was enormous, with three separate wings, each with its own entrance: One would be for the Factory, one for Interview, and the third would be rented out. The price wasn’t bad for midtown real estate: $1.5 million.” (BC459)
