Aperture Foundation: Auction 2010

Detail from Untitled, 2008, by Richard Misrach

November 1st, 2010 at Chelsea Piers, New York

Aperture’s Largest Auction Ever Includes Works by Robert Adams, Diane Arbus, Bruce Davidson, Bruce Gilden, Eirik Johnson, Susan Meiselas, Joel Meyerowitz and Richard Misrach among others

Aperture Foundation, the New York-based non-profit arts institution that has been a leading force in the field of photography for nearly sixty years, will hold its 2010 Benefit and Auction on Monday, November 1, at The Lighthouse, Pier 61, Chelsea Piers, New York. This year’s event honors three outstanding individuals:

Photographer Richard Misrach; collector, philanthropist and former Aperture Board member

Steven Ames; and New York-based gallerist

Julie Saul; for their important contributions to the field of photography and to the arts.

This year’s auction is Aperture’s largest ever with over 80 pieces donated to date. An “emerging artist” category has been added for the first time to acknowledge Aperture’s commitment to promoting the work of new and visionary photographers.

Aperture—located in New York’s Chelsea art district—is a world-renowned non-profit publisher and exhibition space dedicated to promoting photography in all its forms. Aperture was founded in 1952 by photographers Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Barbara Morgan, and Minor White; historian Beaumont Newhall; and writer/curator Nancy Newhall, among others. These visionaries created a new quarterly periodical, Aperture magazine, to foster both the development and the appreciation of the photographic medium and its practitioners. In the 1960s, Aperture expanded to include the publication of books (over five hundred to date) that comprise one of the most comprehensive and innovative libraries in the history of photography and art. Aperture’s programs now include artist lectures and panel discussions, limited-edition photographs, and traveling exhibitions that show at major museums and arts institutions in the U.S. and internationally.
