Featured large Warhol museum poster

something else i found while going through stuff

large 39 x 24 on thick quality card like paper

somebody had folded the bottom info part to fit into a frame

think i paid a fiver for it at local auction, and had to dispose of the frame at the auction house so i could get it on the bus rolled

haven't been able to find one alike

are these things considered collectable at all ?

thats 2 firbys who no longer talk for size comparison

 

its not that they can't talk, they've been sworn into secrecy, and seen too much

 

a nice museum poster...... the fold hurts any value other that for decoration..

 

Where the h*** is the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum? Ah, Las Vegas! ("My parents went to Las Vegas and all I got was this lousy poster"?)

Conditions not very good but 'spect it'd be hard to find another one.

Debora

 

yeah think thats the one thing in its favour, these seem to sell ok looking on ebay solds, and i can sort of see why

 

Did you see one that sold for the Guggenheim Hermitage? I didn't. A museum branch for punters. (The entire exhibition only had 30 works.) I'm not sure who the customer would be.

Debora

 

not sure that really matters, would make it more rare i guess. the customer would be anyone interested in andy warhol

 

I'm going to disagree. But happy to be proven wrong.

isn't it the same museum as this one

bottom of mine

 

if you look on the linked one, they both have the visual arts small print and soloman detail

 

both are from the andy warhol estate and foundation for the visual arts

 

looks like a pretty cool looking museum in new york

 

so must be a link between the 2 i guess

 

There's a link, yes, but... The Guggenheim Hermitage Museum is a tourist attraction in Las Vegas.

2 very different looking buildings for sure, but i don't really get your point deb, if its the same organisation that produced the posters, and both to do with the same artist.

is there a hierarchy when it comes to art exhibition posters ?

 

I think it would make a great pic for kitchen art Charlie.

 

Yes, of course, there's a hierarchy when it comes to art exhibition posters. The Solomon F. Guggenheim Museum is one of the world's leading modern and contemporary art museums. The Guggenheim Hermitage Museum was a little Las Vegas Strip art museum housed in the for-profit Venetian Resort hotel that was part of the not-always-successful Guggenheim Foundation's expansion into new markets. (Think Bilbao. Everyone stands outside and admires the building; no one goes in.) It catered to tourists and put on exhibitions of artists whose names they would recognize. The American Pop Icons exhibit doesn't even appear to have been a serious curatorial effort; only 30 works were exhibited.

And we don't know if the Warhol cars poster is desirable to collectors; that's an asking price, not a sold price.

what this 'little' thing ?



i think your going into it a little deep to be honest, and don't quite understand the snobbery about it, but we'll leave it there

 

Are you a regular museum goer, Charlie?
