Founded in 2010, The Bechtler Museum of Modern Art is a museum in Charlotte, North Carolina. Specifically, it is dedicated to the exhibition of mid-20th century modern. The modern art museum is part of the new Levine Center for the Arts in Uptown.
The museum is named after the family of Andreas Bechtler. He was a Charlotte resident and native of Switzerland who assembled and inherited a collection of more than 1,400 artworks created by major figures of 20th-century modernism.
The exhibition is made possible thanks to a partnership with AKTION ART. ThankYouX was first introduced to Palm Beach and art world power gallery Aktion Art via the Museum of Arts and Design. His work was featured at the Museum of Arts and Designs annual MAD Ball, hosted by Aktion Art in October 2020.
Since then, Aktion Art has continued to represent ThankYouX’s physical canvases in a number of high-profile activations, sales, and exhibits. Their flagship gallery is located on Worth Avenue, Palm Beach. This is where they first exhibited ThankYouX alongside museum-quality works by Andy Warhol and JM Basquiat in 2021.
