The Evergreen Gallery was among 183 college and university art museums across the United States that each received a gift of 150 Warhol photographs through the foundation’s Photographic Legacy Program.
By donating a significant number of Warhol photographs to each institution, the program provides greater access to Warhol’s artwork and process, and enables people from communities across the country to view and study this relatively unknown body of Warhol’s work.
Evergreen has nurtured artistic photography since its founding.
The 103 Polaroid and 50 black and white photographs by Warhol join more than 50 other photographs that form the heart of Evergreen’s art collection.
The Warhol photographs will be displayed in Evergreen Gallery in future exhibitions.
Other regional institutions that received the donation include Gonzaga University’s Jundt Art Museum; Montana State University’s Northcutt Steele Gallery; Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery at Reed College; Southern Oregon University’s Schneider Museum of Art; Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon; the Henry Art Gallery at the University of Washington; and Washington State University’s Museum of Art.
