The first physical exhibition of four iconic works of art and rare artefacts Showpiece has made available for shared ownership, valued at almost £10million.
About
The exhibition includes Andy Warhol’s portrait of Queen Elizabeth II from his 1985 ‘Reigning Queens’ series. Other iconic pieces included in the exhibition are the world’s most valuable stamp, the 1c Magenta, a 1937 Edward VIII penny, one of only two in private collections, and a first edition of Charles Darwin’s ‘On the Origin of Species’.
A key principle behind Showpiece is to enable collectors to enjoy the cultural heritage in which they share ownership, regardless of the number of pieces they own, and to have access to a community of fellow collectors.
Quite aside from the joy of sharing ownership in the legacy of valuable cultural heritage, those who own shares are able to join the community of fellow collectors on Showpiece’s bespoke online platform.
