Warhol Foundation gives Museum 150 original photos.
The Museum of Art at Washington State University’s Pullman campus has received an unprecedented gift of works from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. The gift, made through the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program in honor of the foundation’s 20th anniversary, includes 150 original Warhol photographs for the museum’s permanent exhibit.
WSU is among 183 college and university art museums across the United States to receive similar gifts. More than 28,000 Warhol photographs will be donated to different museums.
Greater access to Warhol’s art
According to the Warhol Foundation’s president, Joel Wachs, the goal of the Photographic Legacy Program is to provide greater access to Warhol’s artwork and process, and to enable a wide range of people from communities across the country to view and study this important body of Warhol’s work.
“Andy Warhol's art changed the way people thought about art,” said Chris Bruce, Museum of Art/WSU director. “Along with Picasso and Jackson Pollock, Warhol is arguably among the three most influential artists of the 20th century. This gift is an acknowledgement of the quality of the Museum of Art's program, our ability to participate in a national dialogue, and our commitment to making this work accessible to Washington State researchers for years to come.”
The Museum of Art is located on Wilson Road across from Martin Stadium in the Fine Arts Center on the WSU Pullman campus. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Thursday until 7 p.m., closed Sunday.Take a Closer Look
