ISTANBUL - Hürriyet Daily News
According to Art Newspaper, Andy Warhol archive, that has been called as a “treasure trove” by Eric Shiner, the director of the Warhol Museum will be reorganized. The museum acknowledges that the archive “reveals Warhol’s motivations, processes and connectivity to the world around him.” Since the museum’s inception in 1994 it has received thousands of requests for access, the number of enquiries increasing “as Warhol’s popularity in our culture grows.” But 17 years after the archive opened, it has been closed for “rehousing and reorganization”: Many of the objects are still not catalogued. It is hoped that the work will be finished by 2013.
