The
San Jose ICA's 27th Annual Fall Auction culminates in a live
auction of spirited bidding for more than 150 art works by some of the
hottest artists in the Bay Area. A not-to-be-missed evening in the South
Bay, the ICA's auction provides an opportunity to purchase the freshest
work of both established and emerging talent, while supporting the ICA's
innovative exhibitions and educational programming.
From painting to photography, installation to sculpture, the artists'
contributions reflect the scope of the Bay Area's vibrant and eclectic
styles and interests. Some of the artists include recognized names,
such as Manuel Neri, Hung Liu and Gustavo Ramos Rivera. While several
of the artists may not be familiar names, the work represents the most
promising new artistic talent in the area. This festive event is a must
for art-lovers and collectors looking for what is up-and-coming. This
show will be on view from Saturday, October 6th until the night of the
auction, Saturday, October 27.
The doors open at 6:00 pm on auction night and the live auction begins
at 7:00 pm. To accompany an evening of lively and competitive bidding,
there will be champagne and savory hors d'oeuvres donated by some of
the South Bay's finest restaurants. Auction tickets are $40 for ICA
members and $50 for non-members. A 20 percent discount applies on tickets
purchased before October 27. All proceeds from the auction will benefit
the ICA's ongoing exhibitions and educational programming. Call 408.283.8155
for reservations.
