Warhol’s Time Capsules are a serial work spanning a 30 year period from early the 1960s to the late 1980s, they consists of 610 standard size cardboard boxes which Warhol, beginning around 1974 filled, sealed and sent to storage in New Jersey. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to what made it into the time capsules, it seems like everything under the term “ephemera” was game . . . .
Archivists . . . are sifting through all of the boxes, taking 6 years (that’s their deadline) to comb through everything. In the 18 months since the project began, the archivists have opened 177 boxes . . . What’s been found so far; a mummified human foot belonging to an ancient Egyptian; a piece of wedding cake from Caroline Kennedy’s wedding in 1986, a Ramones’ 45 record signed by the punk rock band’s lead singer Joey Ramone, orange nutbread sent to Warhol by one of his Pittsburgh-area cousins with a note telling him to enjoy it with a cup of coffee and an autographed picture of a naked Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
