Andy Warhola

READ DEEP STORAGE- this book is all about collecting, storing, and archiving art. It has the best articles on art installations of archiving memory.

I will be the first to admit I am not an Andy Warhol fan. But I absolutely admire what he did for the art world after his death. And he is pretty fascinating as a individual. http://flavorwire.com/110223/andy-warhol-82-birthday-facts

-----"From the ’50s through the ’70s, Andy always kept a standard-size cardboard box beside his desk that he would fill with interesting ephemera. Each box would be taped and dated when it was full. At the time of his death, Andy had assembled over 600 of these “time capsules.” ".-------

Now these time capsules have been given to universities art collections and are being opened for the first time.

So fucking cool.

Also, I just cannot believe Warhol and Duchamp met. Marcel Duchamp is my favorite artist, hands down. http://www.warhol.org/calendar/events_detail.php?eventID=1875&dateYear=2010&dateMonth=5&dateDate=25

This looks like an early jackson pollock done by a jean michel basquiat jeff koons.
