then reported that Delvey would be launching her own solo show called “Allegedly”. Unlike the group show, the solo show would take the form of a “guest-list focused” event with “celebrity clientele”. Sounds about right.
“This is a collection of sketches I’ve created while in ICE Orange County detention,” Delvey explained in a statement to. “I wanted to capture some of the moments of the past years, both never-seen-before and iconic, using the limited tools I have at my disposal. Some of the pieces are straightforward, others are more abstract and will be unique in meaning and appearance to the observer.”
“I studied fashion illustration at Parsons in Paris, but haven’t sketched since and only again now in this upstate NY prison,” Delvey continued. “Long story – don’t ask me why. You’ve heard so many voices already, but this is the beginning of me telling my story, my narrative, from my perspective.
The drawings were originally supposed to be priced between $10,000 to $15,000 each, but attendees soon learned that the 21-piece collection would only be available to buy as a complete series… for $500,000. QR codes advised potential buyers that Founders Art Club would be “selling up to 48% ownership in the Anna Delvey ‘Allegedly’ Original Collection to strategic investors”.
