Joopiter, the auction platform founded by Pharrell Williams, is hosting its first contemporary art sale featuring 48 lots that include high-profile and emerging artists. Collaborating with Martha Stewart as a guest curator, the sale showcases works by legends like Jeff Koons and contemporary stars such as Tschabalala Self. Stewart has highlighted specific pieces, reflecting her personal connection to the artists. This auction aims to encourage new collectors and provide educational opportunities surrounding art collecting, with estimated prices ranging from $4,000 to $1.2 million.
"This sale is an opportunity to start a collection of your own—or to expand one you have already begun," Stewart said in a statement. "It's also an opportunity to learn."
"I sat for Alex Katz long ago when he painted a large facial portrait of me," she said in a statement regarding the highlighted Katz work in the sale. "It was typical of his simple, planar, partially textured work."
