Beschreibung: OUT OF SIGHT: AN ART COLLECTOR, A DISCOVERY, AND ANDY WARHOL is the catalogue of an exhibition held at the University of Pennsylvania focusing on a large collection of striking, never-before-seen photo silkscreen prints based on Andy Warhol's Marilyn imagery. The prints come from Sweden and seem to have a connection to the first retrospective of Warhol's art in Europe, which took place in Stockholm at the Moderna Museet in 1968. An enthusiastic collector of Warhol art and ephemera, Gregory McCoy began collecting these MARILYN prints in 2009 and since then has amassed well over 300 examples in a wide range of color combination. OUT OF SIGHT includes a catalogue of the entire collection, along with essays outlining distinct interpretations of their origins and significance. It is hoped that this presentation of the available information will open the door to further study of McCoy's prints. Also featured within these pages is an interview with McCoy in which he discusses how he came to acquire the prints, the history of his fascinating collecting practice, and his interest in Warhol. An appendix provides further information about McCoy as a collector. Rounding out the catalogue are an essay on the historically important exhibition of Warhol's work held at the University of Pennsylvania's Institute of Contemporary Art in 1965 and installation photographs of the OUT OF SIGHT exhibition."--Jacket flap

In 2009, Gregory McCoy, a noted New Jersey Andy Warhol Collector discovered while searching online, four remarkable and unknown silk screen prints of Marilyn Monroe, what struck McCoy immediately was the remarkable resemblance to Andy Warhol's iconic 1962 silkscreen portrait of the actor. After investigating the origins of the Marilyns, he purchased four proof copies from a Swedish art dealer. Through his painstaking research, McCoy has discovered that the screen prints were, most likely, made in Sweden in 1968 at the time of Warhol's first international exhibition at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm. Excited by his discovery, McCoy has spent the past twelve years acquiring over three hundred multicolored Marilyns. Not used in the Stockholm exhibition, it appears that the screen prints went underground and were gifted to a circle of Swedes who were associated with Pontus Hultén, the controversial Director of the Moderna Museet. In 2016, McCoy was introduced to Penn Libraries Director of the Rare Book and Manuscript Library; after examining a sample of the Marilyn silkscreens, McCoy and Penn Libraries formed a partnership to exhibit a selection of the Marilyns. Why Penn? It seemed obvious. Penn had played a significant role in launching Warhol's career when the recently founded Institute for Contemporary Art (ICA) mounted Warhol's first institutional retrospective of his work in 1965. The ICA exhibit is legendary. Given Penn's role in Warhol's Pop Art career, Penn seemed to McCoy to be the obvious venue to unveil his important discovery to the art world. To date the question of Andy Warhol's role in the production of this collection of Marilyns remains unanswered, which is part of the intellectual challenge of defining these art objects within the context of Pontus Hultén curatorial vision and Andy Warhol's ethos and aesthetic.
