The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts today announced a gift of Warhol’s art to 183 college and university art museums across the United States. The gift, made through the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program in honor of the foundation’s twentieth anniversary, consists of 28,543 original Warhol photographs valued in excess of twenty-eight million dollars. The program offers institutions that do not have the means to acquire works by Warhol the opportunity to bring a significant number of photographs into their permanent collections, while allowing those institutions that do have Warhol in their collections to enrich the breadth and depth of their holdings. Each of the participating institutions will receive approximately 150 original Polaroid photographs and gelatin silver prints selected by Jenny Moore, curator of the Photographic Legacy Program. “A wealth of information about Warhol’s process and his interactions with his sitters is revealed in these images,” Moore notes.
