Rock Generes, v. 21, 996-97, by Ward Shelley

The Drawing Center is back, with Drawing Gifts, its 7th Annual Benefit Auction, which will take place next Wednesday, October 6th, at 6:30 p.m. at the former Dia Art Foundation building in Chelsea. By buying a ticket, you can help support The Drawing Center—the only non-profit Museum in the United States that focuses exclusively on the exhibition of drawings—and perhaps pick up a drawing of your very own!

Works by an amazing selection of artists are available, including William Powhida and Xylor Jane (keep your eyes peeled - we just might have something to offer from her ourselves in the coming months!), not to mention Elizabeth Peyton, Fred Sandback, Ed Ruscha and Sol Lewitt.

Auction tickets are available for purchase here, and you can browse some of the available works here, and in certain cases even do a little online advance-shopping.

If you’re busy next Wednesday, but still want to see all of the drawings in person, you can also check out the Free Auction Preview (no tickets needed!) the night before the main event on Tuesday, October 5th, at 7p.m.
