Once again, Live Auctioneers, will host the auction lots on their website for online bidding. On auction nights, Salmagundi’s Skylight Gallery will produce the auctions live with returning auctioneer, artist Del-Bourree Bach. All of the lots will have an opening bid of 33 percent of the market price, with increments determined by pricing categories. As Salmagundi’s auctions are fundraisers, portions of the sale will be shared between the club and the artist. “Salmagundi auction nights have always been highlights of the calendar year,” notes a club representative. “There is a host of continual buyers who attend each season to enhance their collections with new pieces of art. Buyers compete for their desired lots and frequently there is a frenzy of competition.” Lots that do not reach their reserve will be available at Salmagundi’s Rockwell Gallery and online.

Take Home a Nude Art Party and Auction
Sotheby’s New York | nyaa.edu/nude
The New York Academy of Art will host its annual fundraiser, Take Home a Nude art party and auction on October 21, at Sotheby’s in New York.
The evening consists of silent and live auctions and ends with a star-studded gala dinner accompanied by Academy artists and live-drawing models. About 200 artworks will be sold to benefit the academy’s programs by artists including Julies de Balincourt, Will Cotton, Alyssa Monks and many more. Tickets to the event are available at nyaa.edu/nude.
The honoree of the 32nd annual event, which raises funds for Academy public programming and scholarships, is artist Jane Dickson, known for her distinctive, vivid portrayals of urban life. Her paintings, often nocturnes, explore the underbelly of society through subjects like strip clubs, diners, motels, sex workers and their respectable counterparts: suburban homes, driveways or businessmen, each rendered in an eerie light hinting that the viewer question what’s going on beneath the surface. Academy president David Kratz remarks, “The Academy’s community has long been a fan of Jane Dickson, and we are deeply grateful for her support over the years. This event is a long-overdue celebration of Jane’s artistic vision and enduring impact.” —
