We are saddened to hear of artist Farhad Moshiri's passing. From October 13, 2017–January 14, 2018, we presented his first solo museum exhibition, “Go West”. He was a wonderful artist to work with and he will be missed: https://bit.ly/3Y4jFDJ "Farhad Moshiri: Go West", exhibition view. The Andy Warhol Museum, 2017. Photo: Abby Warhola

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.

Recognition and empathy for the pain of others often depends on context. In Warhol’s "Blow Job", actor DeVern Bookwalter appears as much in pain as in ecstasy and the shadows cast a skeletal appearance on his face at times. It is only when the viewer considers the title that emotions become clear. Similarly, in KAWS monumental and ambiguous portraits of the cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants in "KAWSBOB 1" and "KAWSBOB 2", cartoonish distress is transformed into real suffering, but the nature of the pain remains unclear when isolated from its original context. Both artists transform images and their meaning through scale, repetition, and media. See more in "KAWS + Warhol", on view through January 20, 2025: https://bit.ly/3s5CR6w Photo by Abby Warhola
