Although this project was never com...展开pleted to Warhol’s satisfaction, this particular sunset film was shown publicly as one of the reels of **** (Four Stars) in December 1967. Warhol’s film of a California sunset, which is accompanied by an added soundtrack of Nico intoning her own poetry, bears a marked resemblance to the paintings of Mark Rothko, whose chapel in Houston was also commissioned by the de Menils.
