The Seattle Art Museum is mentioned as the site of an opening that began a multi-city trip recorded in Andy Warhol’s diary. The account places the museum in the itinerary rather than describing its collection or the opening itself.

Opening and Itinerary

The diary’s November 24, 1976 entry looks back on a trip that began in Seattle for the museum opening. The group then traveled to Los Angeles for Marisa Berenson’s wedding to Jim Randall, before continuing to Vancouver for an Ace Gallery show opening. The sequence makes the museum the first named stop in a journey linking an institutional event with later social and gallery engagements.

Place in the Diary

The Seattle Art Museum receives no further description in this passage: Warhol does not identify the exhibition or recount what happened at the opening. Its significance here is its place in the route recalled while he was traveling from Vancouver back to New York, a brief reference that anchors the trip’s chronology.
