Need something fun and inspiring to start your Memorial Day weekend off tomorrow evening? Join the AIGA/NY at their Unique New York Auction Party, Thursday, May 26th, 6:30pm to 9:30pm. Pentagram hosts an evening with no speeches, no awards, just you and your colleagues and friendly conversation. Led by the feisty auctioneer Michael Bierut, the auction features a small collection of covetable framed artwork, collage and constructions from twelve unique talents from the New York creative pool, including Milton Glaser, Seymour Chwast, Paula Scher, Massimo Vignelli and Maira Kalman. There are so many more, you NEED to click here for the full list and gallery of work. This is your chance to get out and have some fun, and possibly pick up a treasure (especially if you, like some of us, are kicking yourself you missed-out on the gems from our Auction last November). And hey, did we mention the open bar? Get tickets and all info here.
