August 6, 2013
Pop artist Andy Warhol smiles in New York in this 1976 file photo. Taking a cue from the artist himself, the Andy Warhol Museum collected stuff to seal into a ``time capsule'' of 1997 during a New Year's Eve cocktail party. ``I stole the idea from Andy,'' said Andy Newman, the editor of City Paper, a news and entertainment weekly in Pittsburgh. ``We were looking for a way of doing the `Year in Review' issue less predictably.'' Warhol began compiling time capsules in 1974 when he moved to a new studio in New York. (AP Photo/Richard Drew,File) ( NAMES WARHOL )
