Yaletown warehouse will host pop-up Warhol exhibit

From the Factory in New York to a warehouse in Yaletown, 80 prints and paintings from Andy Warhol will be on display at a pop-up exhibition in Vancouver next month. Works in the “WARHOL – A Different Idea of Love” exhibition, which will include 18 pieces on canvas, come from the private collection of Los Angeles businessman Ron Rivlin and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

The exhibit will be staged, Monday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., in a warehouse at 1280 Homer Street from March 1 to 30. Admission will be free.

 “The 80 pieces, as a collection have never been exhibited together under one roof,” Christopher Dohm of Maison AI, the show’s co-presenter along with Rivlin’s Revolver Gallery Beverly Hills, said in a release. “It is a rare opportunity to experience the master of the pop art movement … We will screen a movie; showcase coveted works, and for 30 days exhibit the largest collection of (Warhol) prints and paintings in Canada.”

 Along with the art, the exhibit will also feature private Polaroids from Warhol’s collection, featuring some of the most famous people of the 20th century.

 Andy Warhol asks Elizabeth Taylor for permission to take a picture of her, at the opening of designer Halston’s new salon in New York on Feb. 13, 1978.

 Warhol died 28 years ago but, according to New York-researcher Artnet, he remains the top-selling artist in the world.

 Bloomberg News reported on Dec. 30 that collectors paid $653.2 million for 1,295 works at auction in 2014.

 Picasso, the second-biggest selling artist last year, had 2,820 of his works sold for $448. 7 million.

No signs of slowing in red hot real estate market!

No signs of slowing in red-hot real estate market CTV Vancouver: Real estate bidding wars are back CTV Vancouver: Real estate bidding wars are back With detached home sales above the ten-year average and less homes than ever on the market, prices are skyrocketing as buyers try to outbid. Share: 24 Text: Share on print (5) CTV Vancouver Published Tuesday, February 3, 2015 3:47PM PST Last Updated Tuesday, February 3, 2015 7:29PM PST The New Year started out with a bang for Metro Vancouver real estate, with a big jump in the price of detached homes. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver released new figures Tuesday that showed the typical detached property in the area increased 8.4 per cent from January 2014 to $1,010,000. The benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is $641,600. It also showed the number of home sales in Greater Vancouver was higher last month than the average over the past decade. While the number of sales increased nearly 15 per cent for the month of January, there are fewer homes for sale.

(CTV) “While demand remains steady, we’re seeing fewer homes for sale at the moment,” said Greater Vancouver Real Estate Board president Ray Harris in a release. "This is creating greater competition amongst buyers, particularly in the detached home market. The number of detached homes listed for sale today is the second lowest we’ve seen in four years.” The Bank of Canada lowered the benchmark interest rate from one per cent to 0.75 per cent on Jan. 21 to lessen the blow of dropping oil prices. This rate cut by the central bank likely means lower interest rates for variable rate mortgages, lines of credit and other loans based on the prime rate, and will likely boost consumer spending. “A reduced rate could allow you to pay down your mortgage a little faster, save some money on your monthly payments, or change the amount you qualify for,” Harris said. “It’s important that you do your homework and understand how these announcements impact your situation.” Apartment property sales in January went up 7.4 per cent from the same month last year, and jumped 40.5 per cent from January 2013. The Real Estate Board defines the benchmark price as one designed to represent a typical residential property in a particular housing market.
