Warhol Photos Spread

February 3, 2010 by Marion Maneker

BBC News spoke to Jenny Moore, Curator at the Warhol Foundation, about the Foundation’s $28m gift of Warhol’s photographs to a wide range of American colleges:

“I think most people are familiar with the paintings, and even the sculptures, and we really wanted the chance to let a broader audience gain access to his photographic work, which is of course the basis of so much of his artistic production.” More than 180 colleges, university museums and galleries have benefited. Each of the institutions has received about 100 polaroid and 50 black-and-white photos from the 1970s and 1980s.
