Celebrate the newly released publication, A is for Archive, featuring curated selections from Matt Wrbican (1959–2019), who was the foremost authority of pop art icon Andy Warhol’s personal collection.

Born Andrew Warhola, the artist Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was a leading figure in the pop art movement of the 1950s and 1960s which found inspiration in mass culture. Members of the Warhola family continue to live in and near Pittsburgh.

The new book sheds light on the artist’s work and motivations, as well as on his personality and private life. Over 2,400 objects were newly cataloged and photographed, in the process of creating this book. 420 illustrations were carefully chosen, many of which appear in print for the first time.

Presented by the Andy Warhol Museum, the largest museum in the United States dedicated to a single artist.
