Phillips Partners with Hall Art Foundation to Offer Contemporary Works Directly Benefitting the Dreyfoos School of the Arts
This season, Phillips has partnered with the Hall Art Foundation to offer a group of works in the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale on 8 December that will directly benefit Black students at the Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts in West Palm Beach, Florida. With an enrollment of over 1,400 students, this magnet public high school provides a tuition-free, arts-centered education for Palm Beach County’s most talented and disciplined students in the arts.
Proceeds from the sale of these lots will be used to implement scholarships specifically for low-income Black students who wish to pursue a career in the visual and performing arts. Some 20 contemporary artists, including Georg Baselitz, Katherine Bradford, Olafur Eliasson, Tracey Emin, Antony Gormley, Anselm Kiefer, Robert Longo, Peter Saul, Kenny Scharf and Julian Schnabel, have generously agreed to donate works to the Hall Art Foundation for the benefit.
The Hall Art Foundation will give all proceeds it receives from their sale to the Dreyfoos School of the Arts Foundation. With estimates ranging from $15,000 to $500,000, the selection of works will present an opportunity for collectors at all levels to participate in this important initiative. Andy Hall, Founder of the Hall Art Foundation, said, “As residents of Palm Beach, Christine and I are honored to be able to help the Dreyfoos School further their mission. While there are pockets of extreme wealth in Palm Beach, these exist in stark contrast to large areas of Palm Beach County that are home to many underprivileged and often marginalized communities.
