Previously uncatalogued digital artwork by artist Andy Warhol have been discovered on Amiga computer floppy disks from 1985 thanks to an extraction project undertaken by the Carnegie Mellon University Computer Club, the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry, and the Hillman Photography Initiative at the Carnegie Museum of Art after an inquiry by artist Cory Arcangel about whether there might be some works stored on obsolete computer disks after seeing a YouTube clip of Warhol promoting the Amiga 1000 in 1985.

A press release on the findings is available on The Andy Warhol Museum’s website.
