About the Item

Poster designed Martin Szufter with the approval of Andy Warhol, using an image of a Warhol work from the exhibition The New Gallery, 1971 Silkscreen on paper 24 × 17 1/2 inches Unframed Other than this very one - we have never seen another one of these dazzling, historic silkscreen poster/announcements anywhere else in the world. According to a contemporaneous press report, it was created in a very limited edition on the occasion of Warhol's historic show at the legendary New Gallery in Cleveland, Ohio. Collectors: Nobody you know will have this (except MAYBE Agnes Gund, who helped found the New Gallery, though she, too might not have ever had one.) This is a lifetime edition - published during Warhol's lifetime - making it especially collectible. The exact number of posters created for this Cleveland Ohio show is unknown, but we know there were very few - and they just don't appear on the market. The historical significance of the poster, and the exhibition, cannot be overestimated. The New Gallery in fact, is the original name for MOCA Cleveland. MoCa Cleveland was founded in 1968 by Marjorie Talalay, Nina Castelli Sundell and Agnes Gund as The New Gallery to showcase contemporary art and introduce it to Clevelanders with the works of cutting edge artists such as Christo, Jasper Johns, Laurie Anderson and of course Andy Warhol. According to an article on October 31, 1971 in the Cleveland Plain Dealer (see attached jpeg of a copy of the article), this show was Warhol's "first considerable one-man show in this area...Works to be shown include prints and paintings ranging from some of artist Warhol's early I. Miller shoe takeoffs to silkscreened Dayglo Campbell's Soup prints and pictures of Marilyn, Liz and Jackie..." The article also specifically states that a "small edition" poster designed by Martin Szufter will be available for sale. In 1974, three years after this memorable Warhol exhibition, the New Gallery became a non-profit, and in 1984, changed its name to Cleveland Center for Contemporary Art. In 2002, the organization’s name was changed again to Museum of Contemporary Art (moCa) Cleveland. In 2006, moCa announced relocation plans, and in 2011, broke ground for its new building.

Exclusive Invitation Card to Andy Warhol Memorial Lunch from Estate of Tim Hunt
By Andy Warhol
Located in New York, NY
SUPER RARE! Invitation Card to private Andy Warhol Memorial Lunch, from the Estate of Tim Hunt, 1987 Offset lithograph card 6 1/2 × 3 3/5 inches Unframed This exclusive invitation to the private memorial lunch for Andy Warhol is an historic collectors item. Few people in the world own this card other than those who were invited to the event and/or their heirs, though it has occasionally appeared at public auction now that another generation has passed. This offset lithograph invitation card to Andy Warhol's Memorial Lunch at the Diamond Horseshoe in the Paramount Hotel bears an image of Andy Warhol's iconic 1967 Marilyn on one side, and on the other side is an announcement that reads as follows: ANDY WARHOL A Memorial Lunch Wednesday, April 1, 1987 The Diamond Horseshoe 235 West 46th Street New York City Special thanks to: Carillon Importers Caffe Condotti Glorious Food All leftover food and flowers will be donated to the homeless program at Church of the Heavenly Rest. Marilyn - Andy Warhol 1967 The provenance of this card is impressive as it comes from the estate of Warhol Foundation curator and sales agent Tim Hunt, who was married to bestselling author Tama Janowitz, author of "Slaves of New York". Tama would describe how she met Tim Hunt as follows:  "Andy Warhol died in 1987. In the long hot summer after, I bought a tiny basement apartment on West 70th Street over by West End Ave. That’s when I met Tim Hunt. A model for Werther’s Caramel and Ralph Lauren who’d gone to Oxford and had a brother who was a famous race car driver, he’d been with Christie’s a few years and had come over from England to work on the Warhol estate. He would later become my husband. Andy would have loved Tim. But the two had never met..." The event in this invitation is the more exclusive Memorial Lunch on April 1st 1987, held prior to Warhol's Memorial Mass at St. John the Divine, later that evening, the latter of which was attended by thousands of people. The press referred to this earlier event as a "Special Memorial Lunch Party" - using the vernacular of the day, as everything in the mid to late 1980s seemed like a party - until it was not. Interestingly, no start time, or even time range, is mentioned on this invitation - something that is rarely if ever missing from such an item; further evidence that it wasn't enough just to get this card; one had to already be in the know to be able to attend. Either that, or the lunch party was going on all day - so invitees could show up whenever they wanted. Or, alternatively, it was simply an accidental omission with no hidden message. And another side note: one of the sponsors of this Memorial luncheon, Carillon Importers, is the holding company or importer for Absolut Vodka, which commissioned Andy Warhol to create a series of advertising ads that would comprise one of the most successful, award-winning advertising campaigns of the era - and the most successful of the company's history. Who attended this event? Probably everybody who was anybody in the nexis of art, celebrity, high fashion and big business. Getty images features photographs by celebrity paparazzo Ron Galella of some of Warhol pals entering or leaving the Diamond Horseshoe for this exclusive event including Dianne Brill...
