Warhol's will dictated that his entire estate—with the exception of a few modest legacies to family members—would go to create a foundation dedicated to promoting the visual arts. Warhol had so many possessions that it took Sotheby's 10 days to auction his estate after his death; the auction grossed $25.3 million.<ref name=":47" /><ref>{{Cite news |last=Tully |first=Judd |date=May 2, 1988 |title=Sotheby's $25 Million Night |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1988/05/03/sothebys-25-million-night/e1b76f32-3837-45f7-a322-68c6c2b3f043/ |newspaper=The Washington Post}}</ref>

In 1987, in accordance with Warhol's will, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts was formed.
