Contemplating the Void Online Auction

Alyson shotz, Untitled, 2009 (detail) and MAD Architects (Yansong Ma), State Fair Guggenheim, 2009 (detail)

The exhibition Contemplating the Void: Interventions in the Guggenheim Museum was conceived as a fiftieth-anniversary fundraiser for the museum. Most of the artists, architects, and designers featured in Contemplating the Void have donated their works to be sold in an online auction hosted by charitybuzz. Proceeds from the sale will support the museum’s exhibition programming.

The auction kicks off March 4 with a live fundraising event at the museum and continues through March 18 online.

During the period of the auction, any work available for bidding will feature a Bid button on its Web page, which links to the work's bidding page on charitybuzz.com. Bidders register with charitybuzz, then receive reglar updates on bidding activity through the auction's close. Winning bidders may collect their purchases from the museum after the close of the exhibition on April 28 or arrange for shipping through charitybuzz.
