Hosted by Nicole Miller, Margaret Russell, and Kenny Scharf and presented by Elle Decor, B&B Italia and Manhattan House, Unframed 2010 recently enjoyed its largest event to date at the iconic Manhattan House, a luxury residential condominium located at 200 East 66th Street. The 20th installment of this unique art sale offered art enthusiasts the chance to purchase signed works by various leading artists, with some pieces starting at $100. Famed artist Kenny Scharf custom-designed a Manhattan chair for B&B Italia available through auction, which was on exhibit at both the Collectors Preview and the Public Sale. All art sales benefited the AIDS Community Research Initiative of America (ACRIA).
The Collector’s Preview was held on Wednesday, April 28, 2010 and drew hundreds of art admirers who perused and purchased signed original pieces. The Collectors’ Preview featured works on silent auction from: Bruce High Quality Foundation, Dale Chihuly, Christian Marclay, Robert Mapplethorpe, Jessica Craig Martin, Ryan McGinley, Julie Mehretu, Jack Pierson, Massimo Vitali, and others. Featured artists at the two-day event included: David Armstrong, William Betts, Slater Bradley, Markus Linnenbrink, Nate Lowman, Ari Marcopoulos, Josephine Meckseper, Matt Porter, and many others.
Curated by Neville Wakefield, Unframed 2010 was held in one of Manhattan House’s penthouse residences, featuring more than 4,000 square feet of interior space, more than 2,000 square feet of outdoor space and complete with views of the 59th Street Bridge.
