It is from Screen Test by Andy Warhol

Aaah, thanks - never seen it before.

Sorry to be so continually anal, but I know you know the Warhol films well, Ondrej.
This is the screen test image I've seen most often, did Lou sit twice? The lighting's kind of similar, maybe the camera zooms out?

There are more Lou Reed Screen Tests. As far as I remeber I saw different 3 versions. Another one is with Lou Reed smoking cigaret (joint?).

Warhol filmed more than one of Lou, he'd play the Hersey one behind the band at EPI shows and behind Nico at her solo Dom shows - I think there's a picture of Nico at a projector with this one playing on the band behind her. I'll look for it.

Thanks, guys.
sars - well done for discerning the Lou w/ Hershey screen test on that Nico pic! You must be way more obsessed than me (that's irony, but I refuse to use emoticons).
To make up for wasting more minutes of the collective velvetforum life, here's a link to some big Warhol-Malanga-Reed-Edie press download pics

I saw Sterling's screen test a couple of years ago. He looks uncomfortable/paranoid (stoned).

Check out Nat´s web site pic #VU14 (I do not know how to insert the pic here!!) Andy Screen Testing Sterl.
Do you think that right screen pic showed at the Trip pic is the same as the one with Lou and the barr? Seems to me more a "Shymphony of Sound" shoot than Screen Test...

I was thinking exactly the same thing when I looked at the picture. If you look at the projection directly above Nico's head, it looks like Cale's hair.
