Inspired by “Andy Warhol in Minneapolis,” with a medium at his side and a bunch of questions about art, funding and politics, l’étoile arts columnist Nathaniel Smith peers into the hereafter to get the Prince of Pop Art’s take on how work is bought and sold, in his own words.

There’s a unique exhibition on view recently at Aria, located in the Minneapolis Warehouse District: one of the largest presentations of work ever seen in Minnesota, by one of America’s most famous artists, Andy Warhol, opened there a couple of weeks ago. The exhibition, titled Andy Warhol in Minneapolis, was the first physical stop in the Andy Warhol at Christie’s series. The show included more than 50 paintings, photographs, prints and works on paper by Warhol, among them a selection of pieces originally featured in Warhol’s only previous showing in Minneapolis at the Locksley Shea Gallery in 1975.

Not only do we rarely receive these types of collections by major artists, we rarely get to enjoy the debate that surrounds the modern art auction. Initially, some balked at Christie’s auction house being tapped to handle the sales of the Warhol Foundation’s remaining works, but most of those objecting were subsequently mollified by the fact that the majority of proceeds from those sales are being used to fund art projects, spaces, writing and artists themselves. And as of two weeks ago, Christie’s online sales of Warhol’s work totaled $2.7 million, twice the pre-sale estimate — money which will, in turn, go toward funding the Foundation’s many grant-related projects.

Warhol’s archives undergo a reorganization. The Andy Warhol Museum faces problems in preserving the documents of his life.

17 years after the archive opened, it has been closed for “rehousing and reorganization : many of the objects are still not cataloged  It is hoped that the work will be finished by early in the new year and the archive will reopen. But while the reorganization has affected direct access, "it hasn't stopped us from lending objects to exhibitions, preparing our own shows, or cataloging Warhol's Time Capsules, all of which are moving along," says Matt Wrbican, the museum's chief archivist.
