Letter Of Note of the Day: Andy Warhol’s landlord didn’t care much for the star-studded shindigs the pop art Bohemian was hosting in his legendary East 47th Street Factory, and let know as much in this professionally PO’d letter from 1965.

Partial transcript:

Dear Mr. Warhol:

We have been advised that you have been giving parties in the fourth floor space occupied by you. We understand that they are generally large parties and are held after usual office hours. We have found that your guests have left debris and litter in the public areas which you have never bothered to clean. Further, we feel that a congregation of the number of people such as you have had may be contrary to various applicable governmental rules and regulations and also might present a serious problem with the Fire Department regulations.

Your lease, of course, does not permit such use and occupancy and you hereby directed not to have any such parties in this building.

Very truly yours,

ELK REALTY, INC., Agents

[l-o-n.]

i HAVE to go here.
