Slovak Spectator: Slovakia's Warhol museum hobbles to tenth anniversary
By Matthew J. Reynolds, 12 February 2001
As a travelling Andy Warhol exhibition hits Bratislava this month, a museum devoted to the pop artist in the opposite corner of Slovakia struggles towards its 10th anniversary.
Located in a crumbling city of 7,000 in north-east Slovakia, the Warhol Family Museum of Modern Art in Medzilaborce was a dream come true for local art enthusiasts and Rusyn patriots alike when it opened in 1991. Warhol's parents were Rusyn - an ethnic minority in Slovakia numbering between 60,000 and 100,000 - from the small village of Mikov� outside Medzilaborce. The museum was to be a source of pride for the town and a valuable tourist attraction.
But operating for nearly a decade on a shoestring budget, the Warhol Museum has never found solid ground: financing has been scant, and its home remains the town's former culture centre, a communist monolith that was intended to be a temporary solution in 1991.

Andy Warhol puts stamp on the world -- again

The often-repeated serial images of famous faces or commercial products in Andy Warhol's art mirrored a culture of mass production. Imagine what a kick he would have had out of seeing one of his paintings reproduced millions of times -- 61 million to be exact.
