Well Last night was kind of a wild night for me...
I started @The Bomb Magazine 28th Anniversary Benefit Party @ The National Arts Club...grand bash see below.
Great drinks and very tasty food was served as people were honored and bidding for the art was going on. The works chosen from ARTmostfierce to promote the event were the ones the bidders were most enthusiastic about. No wonder... I mean Mickalene Thomas, Cindy Sherman and Marilyn Minter?
You can not go wrong with these ladies!
Toaster, Artist Marina Abramovik
Glamour Girls take a break of being fabulous to take action in the bidding of art
Paul Morris BOMB Magazine Director of Marketing and friends party up
The Cindy Sherman and Mickalene Thomas bidding battle!
I put a second bid on Cindy's (I kind of wanted it) but the original bidder came back and bid again, so I lost!
I put a second bid on Cindy's (I kind of wanted it) but the original bidder came back and bid again, so I lost! Went for a cool $2,300.00 (still a deal)
Everybody was gushing about the very small
one of the kind 4 x 6 inches Mickalene Thomas black & white photos both of them fetching very good prices and proving once again that Mickalene is one recession proof artist!
For the skeptics, The Marilyn Minter Skateboard fetched $1,900.00 with only 2 bids . Not bad right?

Be nice, be proactive, be positive and yes you can be a bit naughty. Negativity, tackiness and insecurity will get you nowhere in the ART World!
