The Contemporary Art Society Art Auction provides a rare opportunity to build your own collection with museum-caliber art that has been vetted by curators and a committee of seasoned art collectors. With artwork selected from top-ranked galleries in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, and other sources, the auction offers diverse and compelling opportunities in today’s art market. Artists represented include blue chip names such as Thomas Struth and Kiki Smith, as well as emerging young artists such as Kristin Calabrese and Luka Fineisen. The auction offers exceptional value for acquiring global contemporary art. Importantly, the committee has leveraged its relationships with dealers to negotiate prices that allow for a significant portion of the proceeds to benefit the Milwaukee Art Museum’s Contemporary Art Society Acquisition and Program Fund, while bringing over 130 exciting works of contemporary art into the homes of local collectors.
