The thing about Warhol's "Factory" was that it wasn't really a new thing. Most pieces of art even from the Renaissance that we think are made "by an artist" are in fact made by a collaboration of an artist with their apprentices, much like how most science is done by a primary investigator and their students/postdocs.
