Andy Warhol’s star shone brighter after his death on February 22, 1987. The artist succumbed to cardiac arrest while in hospital for gall bladder surgery.

Prolific, talented and successful in life, much of Warhol’s work only came to light after his unexpected death, such as early commercial illustrations, versions on his famous Campbell’s soup cans and an archive of film and of photographs.

Gallery 98 has collected a brilliant array of Warhol ephemera. The collection includes newspaper, magazine and gallery cards for many art shows.
