Jeffrey Gibson and Simone Krug talk of Gibson’s ArtWeek 2022 performance.

A conversation previewing the major exhibition “Mountain/Time.”

Works by these artists and more will be auctioned in support of the Aspen Art Museum during ArtCrush 2024. Each work has been generously donated by artists and their galleries. To celebrate our milestone anniversaries, the museum has offered to share proceeds with donating artists, a practice which will remain a cornerstone of ArtCrush for years to come.

Discover some of the participating artists here and view the complete selection of works in person at the AAM from July 17 to August 3 or online at christies.com/aspenartmuseum.

Compiled with the support of the AAM’s Collector Committee, co-chaired by Abigail Ross Goodman and Molly Epstein, the exhibition brings together over 50 artists across a wide range of disciplines.
