Mid-April began the first exhibition that held an opening and closing auction party where bids were placed in the gallery and on-line, down to the last second. The benefits honorary chairs were Cindy Sherman, Beth Rudin DeWoody and Kathy Grayson and close to one hundred famous artists contributed works.

The benefit was for BAMart, Brooklyn Art Museum - www.bam.org and powered by Paddle 8 http://paddle8.com. Have a look at the art and closing auction party....
