PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA.- The Andy Warhol Museum presents "Possession Obsession: Objects from Andy Warhol's Personal Collection", on view through May 19, 2002. This is a rare opportunity to unite approximately 300 objects from Warhol's personal collection (sold at the legendary 1988 Sotheby's auction) in order to examine one of the least-studied aspects of his oeuvre: collecting. The exhibition will focus on areas where Warhol maintained a deep, abiding interest, such as 19th century American furniture and folk art, cookie jars and other collectibles, Art Deco furniture and objects, Native American art and artifacts and fine and costume jewelry. The exhibition was organized by the Andy Warhol Museum and curated by John W. Smith, archivist for The Warhol. The exhibition will explore the role that collecting played in the artist's life and the ways in which it influenced other aspects of his art.
