Warhol declares War on Smithsonian

The Andy Warhol Foundation, which granted $375,000 over the last three years to the Smithsonian Institution has threatened to withdraw future funding if they don't restore the recently censored "Fire in My Belly."

"In a letter sent on Monday to the head of the Smithsonian, G. Wayne Clough, Joel Wachs, the president of the Warhol Foundation, said that the foundation's board voted unanimously on Friday to demand that the Smithsonian restore the work, an excerpt of a video by the artist David Wojnarowicz, to the exhibition or the foundation would reject any future grant requests.
