About us
The Andy Warhol Museum is a vital forum in which diverse audiences of artists, scholars, and the general public are galvanized through creative interaction with the art and life of Andy Warhol. The Warhol is ever-changing, constantly redefining itself in relationship to contemporary life using its unique collections and dynamic interactive programming as tools. The collection includes 900 paintings; approximately 100 sculptures; nearly 2,000 works on paper; more than 1,000 published and unique prints; and 4,000 photographs. The film & video collection includes 60 feature films, 200 of Warhol’s Screen Tests and more than 4,000 videos. The collection covers the entire range of Warhol's work from all periods, including student work from the 1940s, 1950s drawings, commercial illustrations and sketchbooks; 1960s Pop paintings of consumer products (Campbell's Soup Cans), celebrities (Liz, Jackie, Marilyn, Elvis), Skull paintings and the abstract Oxidations from the 1970s; and works from the 1980s such as The Last Supper, Raphael I-6.99 and collaborative paintings made with younger artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Francesco Clemente. The Andy Warhol Museum is one of the four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, and a collaborative project between the Carnegie Institute, the Dia Art Foundation, and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. The Museum opened its doors in May 1994 and features seven floors of gallery and exhibition space.

Sadness is closely tied to feelings of nostalgia; that yearning for a fondly remembered but lost past that can bring comfort. KAWS frees Sesame Street characters from their original educational setting to create friendly reminders of childhood. Warhol gathers icons of American culture for his "Myths" series featuring subjects that can be at once heartwarming and somewhat sinister. In "KAWS + Warhol", these works are joined by Warhol’s "Flowers" painting, which reminds the viewer that all beauty, and life itself, is transitory. The youthful memories of both artists are fertile sources for works recalling simpler times that have been lost. See more in "KAWS + Warhol", on view through January 20, 2025: https://bit.ly/3s5CR6w
