Rocky Mountain PBS is hosting the Joshel Art Auction, featuring the extensive collection of the late Suzanne Joshel, a well-known Denver collector and longtime supporter of Rocky Mountain PBS. The auction also will include other gifts and bequests to RMPBS.
Suzanne W. Joshel died last March at age 87, leaving behind a treasure of mostly 20th century modern and contemporary art, including sculptures by Clement Meadmore and Auguste Rodin, and paintings by Vance Kirkland, Red Grooms, Voy Fangor and Phillip Taaffe.
Suzanne, who escaped Nazi Germany as a teenager, was a fascinating woman with a range of interests, and an unwavering passion for art and music. She and her husband Lloyd Joshel settled in Denver, where they amassed a world class art collection, a large portion of which she left to Rocky Mountain PBS, among other local arts organizations.
“We are honored and bolstered by Suzanne Joshel’s remarkable generosity and commitment to Rocky Mountain PBS. We look forward to sharing her extraordinary collection with the community,” said Doug Price, Rocky Mountain PBS president and CEO.
A preview will be held on Friday, Jan. 15, 2-7 p.m. The auction will be Saturday, Jan. 16, 2 p.m. For more information and to make a reservation, contact Patricia Laverty, manager of philanthropic giving, 303-620-5706 or patricialaverty@rmpbs.org.
