Warhol Foundation Update

The Warhol Foundation, one of the largest foundations for grants that go directly to artists, announced this week that it will disperse its entire collection of Warhols, donating some and selling others.  Officials say the Foundation will shift exclusively into a grant making organization.  The foundation says it hopes to fill in the void left by declining private and government arts support.

This questions the role that artists’ foundations play.  Originally, these foundations were started by artists as a means to oversee individual artist’s legacies by documenting and protecting work.  The foundations typically sell a few works a year to finance operations.

 The Warhol Foundation, along with the Pollack-Krasner Foundation, was one of the first foundations to make the decision not to fund costly authenticating of work, choosing, instead, to have these funds go directly to artists. In the past, the Warhol Foundation has awarded $250 million in grants to hundreds of museums and other non-profits.
