Spotlight: WSU adds Warhol prints

The Washington State University Museum of Art has received six original Andy Warhol prints from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

The new prints are the largest in the museum’s permanent collection, measuring 40-by-40 inches, and include a portrait of Sitting Bull and depictions of a truck, flowers, a sunset, and even a receipt. It takes the number of Warhol pieces in WSU’s permanent collection to 174.

“These works add a wonderful new dimension to our holdings of modern art,” museum director Chris Bruce said in a news release. “Equally important, the gift provides us with an extra incentive for a successful campaign to build a new museum on campus so we can share such treasures with our audience more frequently.”

The museum is located on Wilson Road, across from Martin Stadium. Call (509) 335-1910 or visit museum.wsu.edu for more information.
