Izumi Kato Portrait Prints
Japanese, b. 1969
Izumi Kato (b. 1969, Shimane Prefecture, Japan) is a contemporary artist known for his surreal and enigmatic paintings and sculptures. His work explores the intersection of the physical and spiritual realms, often depicting humanoid figures with exaggerated features that evoke a sense of primal existence.
Kato studied oil painting at Musashino Art University, graduating in 1992. Unlike many artists, he took an unconventional path, working in manual labor before fully dedicating himself to art in his 30s. This background has influenced his approach, resulting in a raw and intuitive style. His paintings are often created without traditional brushes, as he applies pigment directly with his hands, enhancing the organic and instinctual nature of his figures.
In addition to painting, Kato is renowned for his sculptures, which are crafted from wood, stone, and soft vinyl. These three-dimensional works bring his mysterious beings to life, blurring the lines between reality and myth. His art is deeply connected to Japanese folklore and spirituality, particularly drawing from the cultural heritage of his native Shimane, a region rich in Shinto traditions.
Kato gained international recognition after participating in the 52nd Venice Biennale in 2007. Since then, he has exhibited widely in major institutions and galleries across the world, and his works are held in esteemed public and private collections. He continues to push the boundaries of contemporary art while maintaining a deeply personal and instinctive creative process. Currently, he lives and works between Tokyo and Hong Kong, further expanding his artistic vision and global influence.to

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

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...
