Last night, ACRIA’s “Unframed” silent auction and dinner raised $500,000 in funding going towards the Artist’s Ending AIDS Fund, which helps provide treatment and prevention education to people at risk or living with HIV/AIDS.
Hosted by Jason Wu, the event was held at Paula Cooper Gallery in New York. The silent auction, curated by Steven Henry, featured a selection of 30 works, including pieces from Glenn Ligon, John Baldessari, and Jasper Johns.
