The Manila Times

Warhol's rare 'Queen' collection opens at Dutch museum  Former Dutch Queen, now Princess Beatrix, opens an exhibition of pop art icon's Andy Warhol collection of "Reigning Queens" produced in 1985, shortly before Warhol's death in 1987. Part of the collection is a set of four silk prints of Beatrix. "Now you have this complete set, and they do something with each other. So I think that's very nice," says the museum curator Hanna Klarenbeen.

00:00This is the back side of the building.

00:04The building is surrounded by wooden structures.

00:09This is the back of the building.

00:14You can see the building is in a very good condition.

00:19The building is a bit far from the main entrance.

00:24I'm going to take a look at this.

00:26I'm going to take a look at this.

00:28What do you think?

00:30I don't know.

00:38One shock.

00:40I'm a frog.

00:44Tell us a little bit about this.

00:46Yes, please.

00:54Look!

00:58Look!

01:00A nice one.

01:06The exhibition Queen's by Andy Warhol

01:08is about the Siri Raining Queens

01:10that Andy Warhol made

01:12in 1985

01:14at the end of his career.

01:16And we see here

01:1816 silk prints of

01:20four raining queens.

01:22He used silk prints with different colors, and then added contour lines with little pieces

01:31of glass, and he called that diamond dust.

01:34And now they sparkle, and that gives it an extra dimension.

01:38So the exhibition will be on until the 1st of January, and then we have to put all these

01:45silk prints back in storage, because they're very fragile for light, and also the diamond

01:52dust tends to fall off if we keep them on the walls for too long.

01:58I don't have favorites, but to have them in total, that's amazing, because me, myself,

02:06I could only have a look at one at a time, because they're in storage, and now you have

02:11this complete set, and they do something with each other.

02:15So I think that's very nice.
