Jafri Meets Warhol - Singapore - May 2005 Sacha Jafri to Exhibit Alongside Collection of Previously Unseen Andy Warhols in Joint Global Tour. galeriebelvedere and Singapore Airlines bring the exhibition to Singapore Having raised over 1million pounds for charity, Britain’s most talented and exciting painter, Sacha Jafri, will be exhibiting his latest collection alongside previously unseen paintings by Andy Warhol - undoubtedly America’s and possibly the world’s most influential artist of the second half of the 20th century. The exhibition entitled ‘Jafri Meets Warhol’ launched in Dubai’s The Grand-Hyatt hotel in April then travels to Singapore’s principal museum ‘The Arts House’ from the 4th-17th May, to London in November 2005 and finally to New York in May 2006. Following an enormously successful and well-received launch in Dubai the ‘Jafri Meets Warhol’ exhibition has now come to Singapore. The exhibition is to be hosted by the Ambassador of Singapore and is in conjunction with the National Arts Council. The Private View will be held on Wednesday 4th May at ‘The Arts House’ where the identity of Andy Warhol’s ‘The Unknown Woman’ will be revealed by ‘Jafri Meets Warhol’ curator, Olivia Hill. Speculation has been abundant for the last 21 years but now, thanks to scientific ‘face-mapping’ the identity of ‘The Unknown Woman’ can now be authenticated and officially revealed. As a result of this truly exciting find, this piece has more than tripled in value. This unique and unprecedented exhibition will continue until 17th May.
