Swiss Institute: Silent Benefit Auction 2023

Founded in 1986, Swiss Institute (SI) is an independent non-profit space for international contemporary art located in New York City's East Village. Committed to the highest standards of curatorial and educational excellence, Swiss Institute serves as a platform for emerging artists, catalyzes new contexts for celebrated work, and fosters appreciation for under-recognized positions.

SI's Annual Benefit Auction is the organization's largest fundraising event of the year. Featuring exceptional works by artists including John Armleder, Vivian Suter, Francesco Clemente, Leslie Hewitt, Sanya Kantarovsky, Pamela Rosenkranz, Peter Fischli/David Weiss, amongst others, the 2023 Benefit Auction will help fund exhibitions, public programs and education workshops for children, teens and seniors. Most importantly, it keeps Swiss Institute open to the public, with all exhibitions, events and programs presented entirely free-of-charge.

Bidding will be open exclusively on Artsy and will begin to close at 12pm on Monday, November 13th.

Each work ships from a different location, as noted on the individual lot pages. Shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer.

The countdown timer on the artwork pages will display the end time for the lot. Each lot closes in 1-minute increments and will be reset to 2 minutes if a bid is placed within the 2 minutes before the lot's scheduled closing time. For further information please see our FAQ.
