Andy Warhol's Grave Streamed Live via Webcam Project Figment
A live webcam feed now allows continuous viewing of Andy Warhol's grave in Pittsburgh. The project, called Figment, is a collaboration between the Andy Warhol Museum and EarthCam. Warhol died in 1987 at age 58. This digital initiative enables global fans to observe the burial site remotely. Concurrently, local artist Madelyn Roehrig continues her fifth-year project, Figments: Conversations with Andy, which also centers on the grave. The webcam provides a 24-hour vigil opportunity without physical travel.
