The board and staff of Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions and Honorary
Chairman Viggo Mortensen are pleased to announce the 23rd
Annual Benefit
Art Auction for Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions, an
interdisciplinary
contemporary visual arts center located in the heart of Hollywood.
Outstanding contemporary artwork, contributed by some of the most
important artists working today, will be available and promise to tempt
the most nonchalant collector! Offered are original works in watercolor
by
Ross Bleckner and Andrea Zittel, one-of-a-kind drawings by
Ingrid Calame
and Mark Licari, a brand new collage by Larry Johnson,
recent paintings by
Sally Elesby and Monique Van Genderen, prints by Robert
Indiana and Ed
Ruscha, and so much more. And, just in case this is not enough, a
limited
edition print by Raymond Pettibon, made expressly for Los Angeles
Contemporary Exhibitions' benefit in an edition of 100, will be
available
at a steal -- only $200! This pre-eminent event is a highlight on the
calendars of contemporary art collectors nation-wide.
Approximately 45 works of art will be auctioned live by a Sotheby's
auctioneer on Tuesday 17 September 2002. Doors will open at 6:30 pm at
Los
Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions for art viewing, cocktails, and hors
d'oeuvres. The live auction will begin at 8:00 pm and will be held at
sixteen-fifty, the nightclub next door. Viggo Mortensen, an artist,
poet,
and well-known actor, is the event's chairman as well as a contributing
artist.
Themed around "Hollywood," the auction will spin off its glamorous side
while getting down and dirty with its vibrant yet seedy reality. "How to
Survive in Hollywood" gift bags will feature a variety of fun items
including temporary tattoos, beauty treatments, discount cards to
American
Cinematheque, a little something sexy, the latest issue of Flaunt
magazine
and other Hollywood necessities. Raffle items include a designer dress
by
successful local designer Claire Joseph, a group tour to Hollywood
Forever
Cemetery, dinner for two at the beautiful, newly-designed Hollywood and
Vine Diner, accommodations at the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel, and more.
An after-party will ensue at sixteen-fifty immediately following the
live
auction.
