Possession Obsession is a specially curated store, conceived alongside and launching with the exhibition Andy Warhol: Lifetimes at Aspen Art Museum, open until March 27, 2022. Titled after John W. Smith’s book Possession Obsession: Andy Warhol and Collecting, the shop is inspired by Warhol’s practice as well as aspects of his work and persona, echoing themes that visitors will encounter in the exhibition. The store will offer additional insight into Warhol’s interests, tastes, and wider ideas of art, particularly his own interest in collecting and shopping at antique stores, galleries, and flea markets. In this spirit, Possession Obsession brings together objects that playfully engage with associations between collecting and mass culture and cultural definitions of taste and kitsch. Items for sale range from animal balloons and stickers to tableware and clothing, through to fine leather shopping bags and contemporary artworks and special editions by acclaimed international artists.
