Andrew Carnegie’s legacy is to be celebrated by the first ever exhibition of Andy Warhol works in a parliament.
More than 40 images by the pop artist will go on display in Holyrood later this year.
The exhibition, including Warhol’s portrait of the Dunfermline-born philanthropist and screen prints inspired by the assassination of John F Kennedy, will be held in October.
Pop, Power and Politics will be part of a festival highlighting the impact Carnegie made.
Scottish Parliament Presiding Officer Tricia Marwick and Angus Hogg, chairman of the Carnegie UK Trust, signed an agreement in Pittburgh with Andy Warhol Museum director Eric Shiner to bring the works, some of them for the first time, to Scotland.
Mrs Marwick said: “As a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, Andy Warhol benefited personally from Andrew Carnegie’s legacy.
“As well as learning more about the work of Warhol, visitors can learn about the life of Andrew Carnegie and how his philanthropy has inspired generations on both sides of the Atlantic.”
Mr Hogg said: “The Carnegie institutions of today address the real issues facing the communities where they operate and our international festival will celebrate philanthropic efforts across the globe.”
The works being brought to Holyrood have been hand-picked to represent the full gamut of Warhol’s life and work, Mr Shiner said.
“Some are very recognisable while others will give the British public an opportunity to learn more about Warhol’s approach to art and life.
“We are delighted to be sharing some of our permanent collection it may be the only opportunity some people in the UK will have to see an original Warhol.”
The exhibition will run from October 4 to November 3, coinciding with the Andrew Carnegie International Legacy: Shaping the Future series of events, which will include activities, seminars, debates other exhibitions showcasing the intellectual and social impact of work made possible by Carnegie’s endowments.
The Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy will also return to Holyrood this year, and be awarded to an individual or family with an exceptional and sustained record or philanthropic giving.
