Going once, going twice, sold!

The auction this weekend was a big success. Loads of people turned out, and of the 100+ works for sale, there were only 15 pieces of art that were not bought. Pretty amazing. Especially when you think about how notorious SF is for having no art buyers, and couple that idea with the fact that most people who raised their bidding numbers during the live auction were probably in their early 30's - it's miraculous. People actually wanted to buy art, and did! Hooray for ISA and Hooray for SF. The school made thousands of dollars, and people seemed to be genuinely having some fun.

Auction crowd

Silent Auction works (like mine) were hung around the periphery of the space.

One of the most successful Live Auction sales of the evening: a Larry Sultan.
