* The Andy Warhol Museum opening

The front page has a heading within an image: "WARHOL WORLD" And starting on pages 28-29 are two editorials with heading: "ANDYLAND" which continues on other inside pages with a few related photos. Nice to have in this famous Greenwich Village publication.
AI notes: The Andy Warhol Museum officially opened its doors on May 13, 1994, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Warhol’s birthplace, marking a significant moment in contemporary art history. Housed in a renovated seven-story industrial building on the city’s North Shore, the museum was established through a partnership between the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the Carnegie Institute, and the Dia Art Foundation. Its opening was celebrated with a star-studded weekend that drew artists, celebrities, collectors, and critics from around the world, reflecting Warhol’s deep influence on both art and popular culture. The museum launched with an extensive collection of Warhol’s work, including paintings, prints, photographs, films, and over 4,000 of his “Time Capsules”—boxes filled with personal items and ephemera—making it the largest museum in the United States dedicated to a single artist. The opening positioned Pittsburgh as a major destination for contemporary art and cemented Warhol’s legacy not only as a leading figure in the Pop Art movement but also as a cultural icon whose reach extended far beyond the traditional art world.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because there was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
Complete in 140 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
Provenance: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive.
