Fresh press coming off The Andy Warhol Museum's 30th Anniversary celebrations. Excerpt from Associate Director The Warhol, Dan Law: “'I don’t think it’s a controversial statement that the art world is categorically conservative, and its core behavior is conservative and risk-averse. This pushes directly against that,” Law contended. “We said we’d do $1 million of wages back into the community. Last year, we did $1.5 million. We said we’d offer 50 jobs, whether full-time, part-time or project-based. We’ve provided over 400 in three years.' He added: 'The giant 800-pound gorilla in the room is the economics of all of this. At the end of the day, artists need to make money to survive. They need to pay their rent. They need to pay their mortgage. They need to feed their families. And institutions have access to that money and those resources.'” https://lnkd.in/eJupMGZi
