## Caption

On Andy Warhol’s birthday today, take a look at how our Conservation team prepared Warhol’s Ethel Scull 36 Times for exhibition in 2019’s Andy Warhol—From A to B and Back Again.

While the work looks like one giant canvas, it’s actually 36 individual smaller ones that need to be carefully mounted together. For this project, all 36 of the portraits were removed from their cleats and mounted on a unified strainer.

The painting—Warhol’s first portrait commission—is on view now in our seventh floor exhibition “Untitled” (America).
