Empire, a movie that Andy Warhol and the experimental filmmaker Jonas Mekas shot in 1964, isn`t for the drowsy.

The silent black-and-white film can run for eight hours and five minutes, and consists of a stationary image of night falling around the Empire State Building. “Empire” is part of “Andy Warhol—From A to B and Back Again,” an exhibition that opens Nov. 12 at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Featuring paintings, drawings, photographs, movies and more, the show spans Warhol’s evolution from commercial illustrator in New York in the early 1950s to global celebrity in the 1980s.
