WORTHLESSSTUDIOS: Summer Benefit Auction 2022

Artsy x WORTHLESSSTUDIOS present the second WORTHLESSSTUDIOS Summer Benefit Auction featuring works by established and emerging artists such as Keith Sonnier, Sean-Kierre Lyons, Fitzhugh Karol, Lili Jamail, Kevin Ford, Tanda Francis, Kevin Claiborne and James Perkins.

WORTHLESSSTUDIOS provides space, materials and resources for artists of all backgrounds to realize their creative visions. This summer, WORTHLESSSTUDIOS begins to build out a fabrication, studio, and exhibition space in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn to help keep working artists in New York City. WORTHLESS is committed to supporting artists’ fabrication needs and producing engaging public art.

Your participation in WORTHLESSSTUDIOS Summer Benefit Auction further supports artists via the allocation of 35% of proceeds to the artist as well as each work’s registration on Fairchain, which ensures a 5% artist royalty on future resales. For more information, please see terms & conditions in the lot description. Proceeds help support the programs surrounding 1-800 Happy Birthday, a large scale exhibition honoring Black and Brown lives lost to police violence which opens at WORTHLESSSTUDIOS in Brooklyn this September.
