Christie’s Private Sales is pleased to announce a pop-up exhibition in Aspen, Colorado, as part of Andy Warhol at Christie’s, a multi-year, multi-platform partnership with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. The selling event will be held August 7-9, 2013, at the 212 Gallery. This exhibition will make available to the public a curated group of more than 20 paintings, photographs, prints and works on paper by the Pop Art superstar, with price points ranging from $2,000 - $35,000, many of which have never been seen before.

Admission to the exhibition is free and open to the public. As with all sales in Andy Warhol at Christie’s—including live auctions, online-only auctions and private sales — all works are drawn from the collection of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, with proceeds benefitting the Foundation’s grant-making programs.

The Aspen Art Museum, a grant recipient of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, will co-host a cocktail reception with Christie’s at the 212 Gallery. Aspen Art Museum Nancy and Bob Magoon CEO and Director, Heidi Zuckerman Jacobson comments: “In 2009 the Aspen Art Museum received our first generous $100,000 gift from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. It was an extremely gratifying acknowledgment of our mission to provide access to important contemporary visual art from around the globe. Four years later, and as a second time recipient, the Warhol Foundation continues to provide key funding in the AAM's ever-expanding role. We remain grateful to the Foundation for its ongoing commitment and are an enthusiastic partner in its vital cause.”
