Olyvia's Soirées

Olyvia Kwok hosts a New York exhibition of 32 art works by Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat

Olyvia Kwok and Louis Buckworth present the iconic works of two lynchpins of New York Contemporary Art, Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and three of their collaborations, in a Manhatten apartment this November.

Following exhibitions of Basquiat’s works by the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris and by the Guggenheim Museum and the Brant Foundation in New York, this is the first buying opportunity for such a large number of museum-quality works by the two American artists who have commanded the highest auction prices and who admired each other’s work.

New York, New York: Basquiat and Warhol

This is a carefully curated show, under the auspice of Olyvia’s Soirées, and it represents a unique opportunity to see a large number of works by each artist that have been in private collections for many years as well as some of their first-time-seen collaborations.

The works range in price from $300,000 for a Basquiat drawing to $30 million for one of the joint Basquiat-Warhol paintings. Certainly, there has not been a selling exhibition of so many Basquiat and Warhol art works of this quality under one roof in recent times.
