VistaJet has sponsored the exhibition and tour
of The Collection of Peggy and David Rockefeller, an auction
entirely dedicated to raising funds for philanthropic causes.
The sale, consisting of numerous
categories, will be conducted by Christie’s and will include a
highlights exhibition tour in Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles and
New York.
“We are excited and honored to partner with
Christie’s to present to the world the spectacular exhibition and
world tour of The Collection of Peggy and David Rockefeller,” said
Thomas Flohr, Founder and Chairman of VistaJet. “Since I founded
the company in 2004, art and philanthropy have always had a
significant role, as passions we share with many of our clients.
Offering curated experiences – in the areas of art and design,
hospitality, travel and culture – is a cornerstone of the VistaJet
brand, and the sponsorship of such an important collection is a
way for VistaJet to support not only the arts, but David and Peggy
Rockefeller’s philanthropic endeavors.”
The
highlights from this collection will be unveiled for the first
time in Hong Kong on 24 November, marking the start of a global
tour for the world’s top art collectors, in addition to the
general public.
After Hong Kong, the exhibition will travel to
Christie’s flagship locations in London, Los Angeles and New York,
revealing new elements of this multi-category collection with each
stop.
VistaJet will host an exclusive program of client events
including rare experiences, art forums and a lecture series. The
global tour will culminate in the auction of the collection at
Christie’s Rockefeller Center Galleries in New York in Spring
2018.
To further enrich the global exhibition tour,
VistaJet has created The
Rockefeller Experience which will allow up to 10 guests travelling with
VistaJet on one of its 72 silver and red jets to New York, a rare
opportunity for a behind the scenes discovery tour of the
Rockefeller collection, before enjoying a multi-taste feast at an
exclusive Upstate New York venue. Guests will then be invited for
a personal tour of The Collection of Peggy and David Rockefeller
exhibition in New York, and to join the live auction at Christie’s
New York with leading art experts.
Sales of The
Collection of Peggy and David Rockefeller will be conducted in
keeping with David Rockefeller’s pledge to direct the majority of
his wealth to philanthropy and provide for the cultural,
educational, medical and environmental causes long supported by
both David and Peggy Rockefeller. All the Estate proceeds will be
donated to charities, directly benefiting the philanthropic
missions that have been maintained by the family for decades.
