After last year’s impressive edition dedicated to Basquiat, the American house pays tribute to another of its star colleagues. All still in king size exclusive for Christmas.
It was already a year ago. Tiffany & Co extended the surprise effect of its campaign by having Beyoncé and Jay-Z pose in front of Basquiat’s Tiffany blue painting to present her with an extraordinary coming-of-age calendar. But how to compete with this unexpected brilliance? Just immersing myself in the New York house archives, which are so rich in collaboration. And one name stands out in this game: Andy Warhol. There is no pop art or serial portrait here, but a series of illustrated greeting cards that the artist produced especially for Tiffany between 1957 and 1962 (see example below).
A festive spirit that we find today in this collector’s upcoming calendar (part of the profits of which will be donated to the Andy Warhol Foundation), where each day of December hides a variety of plates, ornaments, cards, ornaments or porcelain holders. signature of the late artist. Not to mention other, even more expensive surprises. Meanwhile, works by Andy Warhol continue to rise at auction, with the painting “White Catastrophe” reaching more than $85 million at Sotheby’s in New York on November 16. An art legend that still and always brings in (more) revenue.
