The annual MTV RE: DEFINE benefit and auction held a preview event last night in New York, in partnership with The Goss-Michael Foundation, Dallas Contemporary, and the MTV Staying Alive Foundation. The private party was hosted by Ellie Rines, Andee Friedrich, Nicole Nadeau, Arden Wohl and artists Richard Phillips, Blair Thurman, Enoc Perez, Wendy White, and Jay Miriam (whose works are featured in the auction).
Held at Great Jones Studio, the evening launched the online sale of over 60 works on Paddle8, kicked off by a video of Tracey Emin, a longtime partner of the foundation.
