THE LIVING ROOM RECOMMENDS!

The Warhol Museum
Time Capsule 21 Online Exhibition
This very very cool site features online images of the contents within some of the 600 cardboard boxes that Andy filled from the late 1960's till his death in 1987. A veritable time capsule which captures the 60's zeitgeist, it's an extensive oeuvre that matured into an artwork only recently and came about from having to move his studio from Union Square to his new space on Broadway. With such random objects as Dick Tracy comic books, newspaper clippings, an unopened Rolling Stones "sticky fingers" album, and moldy pizza (not in the site), it's a fascinating mix of artwork, photography, correspondence, and ephemera.
It's an interesting journey through a what I only describe as the droppings of a brilliant man. Living proof that an artist's hand can still keep on creating way beyond the grave.
