A set of original photographic prints from the Andy Warhol Foundation have been received in a joint project with the Friends and Evergreen's Sound and Image Library, Photo Center, and Art Gallery. The collection is comprised of 153 original prints, 50 silver gelatin prints accompanied by 103 polaroid drafts.
The Warhol Foundation donated the prints to the college's Art Gallery and Special Collections. The Friends are contributing funds to support the archival digitization, web publication, and climate controlled preservation of the originals. The funding request to the Friends was for $3060.
Ann Friedman, the college’s Gallery Curator, spoke on behalf of the Warhol funding proposal. She pointed out that the bulk of the Gallery’s collection is in photographs, and that the college is one of three institutions in the state to have received Warhol Foundation offers.
The originals will be available for student archival research and for occasional, temporary displays under proper conditions. The Friends are considering an opening reception and display of the gelatin prints for our Annual Meeting this fall.
