New York, ABD / 1929
The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
Modern ve çağdaş sanat · Andy Warhol · Jean-Michel Basquiat
History in brief
Founded in 1929 by Lillie P. Bliss, Mary Quinn Sullivan and Abby
Aldrich Rockefeller, MoMA opened its first exhibition that year
and moved into its Midtown building in 1939. Its multi-department
model brought painting, sculpture, photography, film,
architecture, design, media and performance into one modern-art
institution.
Why it connects to INUART
Warhol’s language of repetition and Basquiat’s use of text and
urban signs offer direct historical context for INUART’s research
into icons and reproduction.
02
New York, ABD / 1870
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
5.000 yılı aşan dünya sanatları · Medusa · Antik Yunan ve Roma
History in brief
The Met was incorporated in 1870, opened its first exhibition in
1872 and moved to its present Fifth Avenue site in 1880. Its
collection spans more than five millennia, making it a powerful
place to study how images transform across cultures.
Why it connects to INUART
Ancient Gorgon and Medusa objects place INUART’s contemporary
dotted Medusa portrait within a much longer history of protective
and transformative images.
03
Londra, Birleşik Krallık / 2000
Tate Modern
Uluslararası modern ve çağdaş sanat · Andy Warhol · Pop Art
History in brief
Tate’s history reaches back to the National Gallery of British
Art, opened in 1897. Tate Modern opened in the converted Bankside
Power Station on 11 May 2000, creating a new model for large-scale
public encounters with contemporary art.
Why it connects to INUART
Tate’s resources on Pop Art, print and photography connect with
INUART’s exploration of printed surfaces, light boxes and limited
editions.

Pittsburgh, ABD / 1994
The Andy Warhol Museum
Andy Warhol sanatı ve arşivi · Andy Warhol · Jean-Michel Basquiat
History in brief
Announced in 1989 and opened in Pittsburgh on 13 May 1994, The
Andy Warhol Museum occupies seven floors of a former 1911
distribution building. It is one of the world’s most comprehensive
single-artist museums.
Why it connects to INUART
Warhol’s screenprinting, repetition, celebrity portraits and
studio system are close historical neighbours to INUART’s “see the
icon again” approach.

Los Angeles, ABD / 2015
The Broad
Savaş sonrası ve çağdaş sanat · Jean-Michel Basquiat · Andy Warhol
History in brief
Founded by Eli and Edythe Broad, The Broad opened in downtown Los
Angeles on 20 September 2015. Its collection includes more than
2,000 works from the 1950s to the present and grew from a lending
foundation established in 1984.
Why it connects to INUART
Viewing Basquiat and Warhol in the same contemporary-art context
reveals how street signs, fame and repetition acquire different
meanings in a museum.
06
Seattle, ABD / 2000
Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP)
Müzik ve popüler kültür · Jimi Hendrix
History in brief
MoPOP began with Paul Allen’s idea for a museum devoted to Jimi
Hendrix. The Frank Gehry building opened as Experience Music
Project in June 2000 and later expanded from music into film,
fashion, games and popular culture.
Why it connects to INUART
Its Hendrix manuscripts, instruments and stage objects make it
possible to study both the musician’s creative process and his
enduring visual identity.
07
Los Angeles, ABD / 2008
GRAMMY Museum
Kayıtlı müzik tarihi ve kültürü · Amy Winehouse
History in brief
The GRAMMY Museum opened in Los Angeles in late 2008 to explore
the creation, technology and cultural impact of recorded music
through artefacts and interactive exhibitions.
Why it connects to INUART
Its 2020 exhibition “Beyond Black — The Style of Amy Winehouse”
connected Winehouse’s manuscripts and stage clothing with her
music, fashion and visual legacy.
08
Cleveland, ABD / 1995
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
Rock müziğin tarihi ve arşivi · Jimi Hendrix · John Lennon
History in brief
Cleveland was selected as the physical home of the Rock & Roll
Hall of Fame in the 1980s. Designed by I. M. Pei, the museum
opened on 2 September 1995 and now combines exhibitions, archives
and education.
Why it connects to INUART
The institutional histories of the Jimi Hendrix Experience and The
Beatles frame Hendrix and Lennon as cultural agents, not only
recognisable faces.
09
Floransa, İtalya / 1560 / 1769
Gallerie degli Uffizi
Rönesans, Barok ve antik koleksiyonlar · Caravaggio · Medusa
History in brief
Designed by Giorgio Vasari for Cosimo I de’ Medici, the Uffizi
complex was built from 1560 to 1580 as Florentine administrative
offices. It opened as a public museum in the modern sense in 1769.
Why it connects to INUART
Caravaggio’s Medusa, painted on a convex shield and held by the
Uffizi, is a key comparison for contemporary images of gaze, fear
and transformation.

Londra, Birleşik Krallık / 1753 / 1759
British Museum
Dünya kültürleri ve arkeoloji · Medusa · Gorgon ikonografisi
History in brief
Created by an Act of Parliament in 1753 and opened in 1759, the
British Museum grew from Sir Hans Sloane’s collections. It now
also researches and presents the colonial contexts of its
collecting history.
Why it connects to INUART
Ancient Gorgon heads, coins, vessels and amulets show how Medusa
was reproduced for centuries, extending INUART’s “dots up close,
icon at a distance” idea into object history.
