A large collection of Andy Warhol’s art may find a home in a proposed museum in Pittsburgh, where the artist grew up. The museum would become “the most ambitious single-artist museum in the country,” said Phillip M. Johnston, director of the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh. Johnston said the museum would be operated as an independent arm of the Carnegie Museum and would consist of works donated by the Dia Art Foundation and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, both based in New York. Talks have been going on for a year and a director has been tentatively chosen, but Johnston declined to release the name or give other details.
