11 ene 2019 año - “The Biggest Drop in History:” a Complete Collection of Supreme Skate Decks Can Be Yours at Auction for an Estimated $1.2 Million
Descripción:
GQ OnlineWhat is thought to be the only full collection of Supreme decks is going under the hammer at Sotheby’s.
The walls at Sotheby’s auction house are in rare form, covered in images from superstars of the contemporary art world: George Condo, Damien Hirst, Takashi Murakami, Jeff Koons, Marilyn Minter, and Richard Prince. A distorted vision of Superman in Condo’s signature style stares viewers down; so does Minter’s close-up of a mouth, edges beaded with sweat, crunching down on a pearl necklace. The Renaissance is represented here, too. No less a piece than “The Last Supper,” Leonardo Da Vinci’s masterwork, hangs from the white walls. There’s a catch, because of course there’s a catch: these aren’t the actual iconic works of art. They all appear on Supreme skate decks.
That’s because, on January 25th, Sotheby’s will auction off what it says is the only privately-owned complete set of 248, released over 20 years along with each Thursday drop. The estimated cost for a catalog that any teen would die for? $800,000 to 1.2 million.
