ArtCrush | Friday, August 5, 6 p.m.

Prominent artists, art collectors, curators, gallery owners, celebrities, and philanthropists from around the world gather in Aspen every year during the first week in August to celebrate ArtCrush, the Aspen Art Museum’s annual summer benefit.
 
ArtCrush has evolved into a week full of social events aimed at engaging the arts community here in Aspen and around the globe. An eagerly anticipated event that quickly sells out, the benefit features a remarkable wine tasting and auction, seated dinner for 350 guests, and both a live and silent auction of major works of contemporary art. The live auction will once again be conducted by Tobias Meyer, Sotheby’s Europe Deputy Chairman, Worldwide Head of Contemporary Art and Principal Auctioneer.
 
In addition to the gala and auction, each year the AAM presents the Aspen Award for Art to an important contemporary artist. This year’s celebration culminates with the Friday, August 5, presentation of the 2011 Aspen Award for Art to renowned artist Roni Horn. Distinguished artists such as Richard Tuttle, Tony Feher, Jim Hodges, Ed Ruscha, Fred Tomaselli, and Marilyn Minter have been honored in the past.
 
Join us for this unique event which provides an opportunity to support the Aspen
Art Museum by combining art, wine, and philanthropy.
