Foundation President Responds to Tree of Life Synagogue Shooting

by Maria VillafrancaOctober 30, 2018

“We condemn the tragic shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, the city where our founder, Andy Warhol, was born and raised. We offer our sincere condolences to the friends and families of the victims of this tragedy. This act and all hateful acts of violence seek to silence and destroy communities that have a long history of being marginalized. We are reminded of the importance of diverse perspectives and why the Foundation actively works to fight inequities in our culture. In 1980, Warhol produced a series of portraits of notable Jewish thinkers and icons, entitled “Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century.” We are sharing these images today to honor these leaders and to voice our support for the Jewish community at large,” Joel Wachs, President of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. October 30, 2018.

The fifth volume of The Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonné has been published by Phaidon Press. Volume 5 documents Warhol’s paintings from 1976-1978 that were produced at 860 Broadway, the studio he occupied for a decade, from 1974 to 1984. This volume includes 733 paintings, featuring the Skull and Hammer and Sickle series, two of Warhol’s most powerful bodies of work. Other chapters document his commissioned portraits, a portrait series of famous athletes, the Torsos and Sex Parts paintings, and a group of self-portraits. The abstract Piss, Oxidation and Cum series, which were Warhol’s first paintings to be produced without a camera since 1962, mark a radical departure in his art.

Volume 5 is edited by Neil Printz with Sally King-Nero as Executive Editor. Printz has edited all five volumes of The Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonné. Started in 1993, this multi-volume scholarly project, sponsored by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, will document all of Warhol’s work in paintings, sculptures, and drawings. Single volumes are dedicated to a particular period, starting with Volume 1, which covers Warhol’s paintings and sculptures from 1961-1963. Each work is thoroughly researched; catalogue entries include detailed records of provenance, exhibitions, and relevant literature as well as supplementary illustrations and annotations recording Warhol’s visual sources and reconstructing his exhibitions. The Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonné presents the most exhaustive record of Warhol’s work and serves as a testament to Warhol’s enduring importance in contemporary culture.

Volume 6 is currently in preparation. Owners of works by Andy Warhol are encouraged to contact the Foundation by submitting this owner information sheet through our website.
