The Art-Curious Club at Christie’s for a Behind-the-Scenes Preview of Multi-Million Dollar Artworks | 330-4pm Session

For this meeting of the Art-Curious Club, we’ll go in a completely different direction than the last, which was at a top independent gallery. Instead, we’ll dive into the spectacle of auctions. Though we aren’t going to the 2x/year by-invitation-only auction of multi-million dollar contemporary artworks itself, The Art-Curious Club gets a behind-the-scenes tour of the highlights from Christie’s veteran Stephen Jones, who’ll talk about where these masterpieces came from, why they can sell for such astronomical prices, and more. Capacity is very limited, as Stephen has asked us to limit group sizes to 12. We’ll split the hour with him into two 30-minute groups, to accommodate 24 people in total. You are welcome to stay at Christie's and look at the viewing independently before and after your tour.

Paid subscribers to SPINSTER get early access. Please RSVP here and arrive promptly at your chosen start time.

ABOUT THE ART-CURIOUS CLUB:

Platform and SPINSTER present The Art-Curious Club. Each month, one of the city’s best galleries will bring members through a tour and discussion to bring you up to speed on the most sought-after artists today. You’ll learn about the artists’ processes, what makes their work relevant and interesting, the art market and process of buying art, and often, you’ll also get behind-the-scenes access to the galleries and to artworks currently on the market. By application (unless you are a subscriber to Platform or SPINSTER), this is for people who just like to know what’s interesting and new in culture, or for those who want to start engaging more deeply with art.

Platform is the ecommerce site for artworks by the most sought-after artists. www.platformart.com
