Cindy Lisica, Assistant Archivist of The Andy Warhol Museum, and Lucy Mulroney, Interim Senior Director of Special Collections at Syracuse University Libraries, discuss Andy Warhol, archives research, and listening to artists. Their work involves collaborations, unorthodox approaches and unusual research methods in archives. Their unique experiences working with rare and special collections, listening to audio and speaking direcdy with those involved in the making of the material often deliver unexpected results in their writing projects and conversations. This conversation raises questions of authenticity and authorship in art historical lineage, well-known quotes, publications and audio recordings by Warhol and today’s contemporary artists.
