AUCTION OF ART + DESIGN EXPERIENCES
This year, we’re hosting the fourth edition of “Possibly the Coolest Art and Design Auction Ever” – T: The New York Times Style Magazine.
Van Alen’s Fourth Annual Auction of Art + Design Experiences features 22 one-of-a-kind, international experiences with notable figures in the art, architecture, and design fields.
This year, bidders can tour postmodern icons by architect John Portman in Atlanta, enjoy a VIP preview of Robert A.M. Stern‘s addition to the Yale University campus, get lost in the archives of Lina Bo Bardi‘s Casa de Vidro outside São Paulo, escape to Stiltsville off the coast of Florida with Terry Riley for an afternoon dip with views of the Miami skyline (pictured above), or practice pushups at the Medellín Sports Coliseum with its architect, Giancarlo Mazzanti.
Bidding closes Thursday, March 30 at 5:00 p.m. EST.
