Like the School of Museum of Fine Arts, the Massachusetts College of Art & Design holds a sale, in this case an auction, to benefit scholarship and academic programs. The 26th Annual MassArt Auction 2015 takes place in Boston this Saturday, April 11th at 6:30. Karen Keane of Skinner will be presiding.
In addition to the many paintings, photos, drawings, sculptures, and multimedia works for auction, there are three special commissions: a portrait sitting with William Wegman (1965) at his home in Chelsea, NYC, a custom evening gown by Jeury Roasario (2003), and a commission of products in your pantry by Rachel Perry Welty.
Here are 14 artworks I love from the MassArt Auction 2015, all open for online bids now on Paddle8 through April 10.
Here is my second installment of works that will be on exhibit at The Armory Show in New York this coming weekend. All pieces are pulled from the show’s online partner, Artsy. If you missed yesterday’s of 20 pieces from The Armory Show, you can see it here.
