PITTSBURGH, PA.- Gift of Gretchen Berg: The True Story of “My True Story,” and The Troublemakers present two aspects of the work of New York photographer and journalist, Gretchen Berg, and will be on view from April 21 through August 5, 2007.
The True Story of “My True Story” documents Berg’s interview with Andy Warhol in 1966, which was published under the title “Andy Warhol, My True Story.” This interview is widely regarded as Warhol’s best, filled with many of his famous and perceptive quotes. The exhibition reveals for the first time that these words aren’t Warhol’s, but rather those of Berg, who carefully edited the conversation to make it appear as though she was eliminating her own voice. The exhibition showcases Berg’s photographs, original recordings, a vintage photocopy of the typescript, and five publication sources of the interview. The majority of these objects were recently acquired by The Andy Warhol Museum, some of which were gifts from the artist.
