Andy Warhol. Screen Test: Donyale Luna, 1964

The Andy Warhol Museum has in its collection over 250 restored films by Warhol and the entire Andy Warhol Video Collection.

The Andy Warhol Museum currently has a collection of 273 preserved Warhol films, including the newly restored Outer and Inner Space, Hedy, and 228 four-minute Screen Tests. The museum also holds the entire Andy Warhol Video Collection -- almost 4,000 videotapes, including 40 completed episodes of Andy Warhol's T.V. and Andy Warhol's Fifteen Minutesand Factory Diaries, as well as finished as well as unfinished narrative dramas and outtakes.

The film and video collection is crucial to understanding Warhol's work in other media. From the time he obtained his first film camera in 1963, up until his death in 1987, Warhol actively explored the moving image, creating epic films, personal portraits, programs for cable television and music videos. His films and video capture the rich and raw texture of the fertile cultural milieu, in which he lived and worked.

In 1997, upon receiving ownership of the rights to Andy Warhol's entire film and video work from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the Museum was granted the opportunity and responsibility of presenting this permanent collection of Andy Warhol's work in the most authoritative and accessible manner possible, for both a general and scholarly audiences.

The museum exhibits Warhol's film and video work on a regular basis in its theater and galleries. Films are also available for viewing for research purposes at the Museum by appointment. The museum also considers requests for licensing.
