About this item...
The highlight of the archives collection at The Andy Warhol Museum are Warhol's Time Capsules. This serial work, spanning a thirty-year period from the early 1960s to the late 1980s, consists of 610 standard sized cardboard boxes, which Warhol, beginning in 1974, filled, sealed and sent to storage. Warhol used these boxes to manage the bewildering quantity of material that routinely passed through his life. Photographs, newspapers and magazines, fan letters, business and personal correspondence, art work, source images for art-work, books, exhibition catalogues, and telephone messages, along with objects and countless examples of ephemera, such as announcements for poetry readings and dinner invitations, were placed on an almost daily basis into a box kept conveniently next to his desk.
Imagine being able to browse highlights from Andy's Time Capsules! This box offers a unique peek at this modern legend's vibrant, chaotic life, with exact reproductions of items from the Factory years and beyond. |
