OUT OF THE BOX: Time Capsule opening with The Warhol’s Chief Archivist Matt Wrbican, Time Capsule Cataloguer Erin Byrne, and special guest Benjamin Liu
Friday, February 6, 2015, 7 p.m.
Join Warhol Museum Chief Archivist Matt Wrbican, Time Capsules Cataloguer Erin Byrne, and special guest Benjamin Liu (former Warhol assistant), as they take a look inside one of Andy Warhol’s mysterious boxes!
Warhol was an avid collector of art, Fiestaware, photographs, newspapers, dental molds, and especially the minutiae of his daily life. In 1974, Warhol began filling the first of his 600 Time Capsules with source material, correspondence, and clothing. The Time Capsules reflect more than Warhol’s personal life; they act as an insightful snapshot of the time and contain a wealth of information for researchers.
