Hotel Room Art Auction
@ Ace Hotel Chicago
311 N Morgan St, Chicago, IL 60607
Opening Sunday, July 21st, from 5PM - 8PM
In partnership with Ace Hotel, curator Kara Jefts will host an event inspired by the elite art world of auction houses. The evening program parodies high stakes bidding in a raucous participatory event. Will you be the winning bidder??
The hotel suite opens to the public at 5:00 pm for a viewing hour where attendees can survey contemporary work by Chicago-based artists exhibited throughout the room. Interested buyers can register for numbered paddles to try their hand at placing a winning bid. At 6:15 the room transitions for auction, a simple set and props will be arranged to make way for the auctioneer, art handlers, and absentee bid representatives. Starting bids for work included ranges from $5-$100. Get your paddle ready!
Viewing Hour: 5:00-6:00 pm
Live Auction: 6:30 pm
The artists offering work for sale include: Giovanna Aguirre, Jeane Cohen, Danny Floyd, David Heo, Solomon Salim Moore, Molly Colleen O’Connell, Jeff Prokash, Mitsu Salmon, Ione Sanders, and Kevin Stuart.
Created and directed by Kara Jefts
