The aim of the Photographic Legacy Program is to provide greater access to Warhol�s artwork and process, and to enable a wide range of people from communities across the country to view and study this important yet relatively unknown body of Warhol�s work. The program offers institutions that do not have the means to acquire works by Warhol the opportunity to bring a significant number of photographs into their permanent collections.
