Proceeds from the works will go towards supporting the annual funding of The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, where Warhol was born, as well as to help the foundation in supporting artists across the US. Christie’s said profits will only be donated “after any appropriate offsets for carbon emissions associated with the minting process”.
“We are grateful for this opportunity to work with Christie’s on making a significant contribution to the foundation’s ongoing efforts to support artists,” Michael Dayton Hermann of The Andy Warhol Foundation said in a statement. “Warhol’s innovative vision and practice continues to enable the foundation’s unwavering commitment to artists by supporting small, community-oriented spaces, major museums, and everything in between.”
