On the Andy Warhol trail in Pittsburgh
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1928, Andy Warhol is known for his commercial pop art, his work with The Velvet Underground and his collaboration with artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Whilst his work is loud and his name known the world over, he still remains a mystery to many. In recognition of the recent Netflix release of ‘The Andy Warhol Diaries, Pittsburgh offers a host of places fans can visit to feel closer to the timeless art culture icon.
Visit the Andy Warhol Museum
Pittsburgh is the proud home of the Andy Warhol Museum, the largest museum dedicated to a single artist in North America. Pop art fans can learn about the Pittsburgh-born artist through exhibitions, displays and informative tours. The colourful venue has permanent and rotating exhibitions which give an insight into Warhol’s colourful life and distinctive art style. Spread over seven floors, the museum exhibits over 12,000 pieces of the artist’s work, including portraits of Marilyn Monroe and one of his most famed paintings ‘Coke’.
Walk along his dedicated bridge
Originally opening two years before his birth, the Seventh Street Bridge was dedicated to Andy Warhol in 2005 as part of the 10th anniversary celebration of the Andy Warhol Museum. Now known as the Andy Warhol Bridge, it is also one of the “Three Sisters” bridges – the only trio of identical, side-by-side bridges in the world and the first self-anchored suspension span designed and constructed in the US. Spanning 884 feet across the Allegheny River, the yellow design mirrors the loud artist for who he was: bold and iconic.
Where to Stay: The Renaissance Hotel
The Renaissance is a historic downtown Pittsburgh hotel located in the heart of the vibrant Cultural District. With a coveted riverfront location, the Renaissance Hotel is within walking distance of the Andy Warhol Museum and the city’s celebrated performing arts theatres, not to mention having a bird’s-eye view of the artist’s dedicated bridge, which is often complemented by blue skies and the towering mountains in the distance.
