Miss Rockaway Art Auction Preview

Earlier this evening we headed over to the Holasek-Weir Gallery in Chelsea to check out the last minute preparations for tomorrow night’s art auction to support the Miss Rockaway Armada event. 

The work being auctioned tomorrow is amazing.  We were only able to snap a few photographs, but included in the auction tomorrow are some fantastic pieces by artists including Swoon, WK, Banksy, Espo, Blek Le Rat, buz blurr, elboe toe, maya hayuk, Shepard Fairey, and many others. 

As we had mentioned earlier in the week, Swoon has created an exclusive limited editionlarge scale print consisting of 15 artist proofs of a silkscreen she’s done on fabric that we’re going to sell exclusively on the Wooster site early next week .  She’s still working on them, but each one will have original hand painted details such that no two will be completely alike.  The pieces themselves are absolutely beautiful… and they’re huge.  Each one will be sold for $1,000 with all of the proceeds going to support the Miss Rockaway event.  If you’re interested in purchasing one of them, let us know.  We’ve included some photos below.  More to come…
