andy warhol’s grave

Andy Warhol died in his sleep on February 22, 1987 from a sudden post-operative cardiac arrhythmia.

He is buried next to his parents at St. John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic Cemetery outside of Pittsburgh, PA.

Warhol's will dictated that his entire estate – with the exception of a few modest legacies to family members – would go to create a foundation dedicated to the "advancement of the visual arts". Warhol had so many possessions that it took Sotheby's nine days to auction his estate after his death; the auction grossed more than US$20 million.
