Seattle is recorded as a destination on an art-related journey in 1976, associated with an opening at the Seattle Art Museum. The diary situates the city within the itinerary rather than developing it as a separately described setting.

The Museum Opening

In an entry dated November 24, 1976, Andy Warhol describes the journey as a trip to Seattle for the opening at the Seattle Art Museum. The record establishes the museum event as the stated purpose of the Seattle stop, without detailing the opening or the city’s reception of the exhibition.

Place in the Itinerary

Seattle was the first stop in a sequence that continued to Los Angeles for Marisa Berenson’s wedding and then to Vancouver for an Ace Gallery show opening. By the time of the entry, Warhol was in Vancouver and preparing to return to New York. The itinerary connects Seattle to a wider period of travel for art and social engagements, but provides no further account of what he did in Seattle.

Seattle in the Diary

The city’s presence is brief and specific: it is named through the museum opening and its position in the travel sequence. Unlike places the diary describes through daily routines or detailed encounters, Seattle remains a point on the route, with no supported description of its streets, institutions beyond the museum, or local art scene.
