Our own local Sotheby’s

On April 9, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego holds its benefit art auction. I, probably like you, can’t really afford anything (it costs $100 to $175 for admission, for starters), but it’s a fun time-waster looking at what’s up for bid. Like the Marcos Ramirez ERRE’s “Confucious” to the right, which I’d grab if I had an extra few thou.

I was just up there yesterday to peruse the goods. There were a number of things which seemed entirely impossible to appropriately display in a home, but it definitely also inspired me to go back over all my margin doodles in search of big money.
Oh, and the LED room is rad. I want one.
I think its wonderful that the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego is selling off work… perhaps that means they will be in the market soon for fresh new art – we can only hope by Contemporary San Diego artists.
