Warhol Artwork
Andy Warhol, Self Portrait, 1986
Collections

Over the course of his career, Andy Warhol transformed contemporary art. Employing mass-production techniques to create works, Warhol challenged preconceived notions about the nature of art and erased traditional distinctions between fine art and popular culture. The Andy Warhol Museum's permanent collection is comprised of more than 12,000 works of art by Warhol including paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculpture, film, videotapes, and an extensive archives that consists of ephemera, records, source material for works of art, and other documents of the artist's life. Together, the art and archives make The Andy Warhol Museum the most comprehensive single-artist museum in the world.

The Museum preserves, exhibits, and interprets the collection, as well as providing the public with access to its unprecedented resources. The collection is not only a resource for research and study, but a basis for creative inspiration, representing a link between the past and the future, culture and the artistic process.
