Curious about what, exactly, will be sold at Space 1026's Art Auction?

Donated by Julie Ahn

In this week's Arts & Entertainment section, A.D. Amorosi gave you the LD on Space 1026's Art Auction, which will be held this Fri., Dec. 11 from 7-10 p.m.:

As multimedia artist A.J. Wright reminds me, Space 1026's annual auction helps ensure the collective can continue to offer promising artists from all over the world a collaborative, supportive gallery environment. That's cool. But what's going to make me bid (other than ever-charming Todd Kimmell hollering as auctioneer)? Donations have been pouring through the gallery's big mail slot every few hours, says artist/publisher/co-organizer Alex Lukas, and this year's work is of the highest caliber he's ever seen. Most of the donations have come from artists who showed at 1026 in 2009 and went on to big, bright futures: Andrew Schoultz and A.J. Fosik, for example, were here in January ' and then exhibited in Paris and participated in the Havana Biennial, respectively. Others, like painter Matthew Palladino, are fresher to the scene.

That's cool, A.D., but can we see it? Indeed: Space 1026's Flickr stream features about 40 images of the donated pieces. In addition to Julie Ahn's work pictured above, there are turkeys with boobs, MJ, the Phillies, and several other offensive and beautiful things.
