Warhol photographs to debut at UMPI

PRESQUE ISLE – A collection of Andy Warhol photographs gets its Maine debut Friday when “Andy at UMPI” opens with a reception starting at 4:30 p.m. in the university’s Reed Fine Art Gallery.

The public is invited to attend the opening reception.

“Andy at UMPI” consists of 22 photographs from the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program which were received this spring. The program aims to provide greater access to Warhol’s work and to enable a wide range of people from communities across the country to view the work.

The University of Maine in Orono and Colby College in Waterville also received photographs.

The UMPI exhibition runs through Oct. 11.

Presque Isle Savings Bank donated $2,500 for the framing of more than 20 photographs. Jane Caulfield, an UMPI arts alumna and owner of Morning Star Art and Framing of Presque Isle, assisted with the framing.
