The Watermill Center: Live Benefit Auction 2019

The Watermill Center is an interdisciplinary laboratory for the arts and humanities founded by avant-garde visionary and theater director Robert Wilson. On July 27, 2019, The Center celebrates TABULA RASA: The 26th Annual Summer Benefit & Auction.

Funds raised support The Center’s year-round Artist Residency and Education Programs, which provide the time and space for a global community of artists, thinkers, and students to live and work throughout the year.

This year, every donating artist was offered the option to receive a twenty percent commission fee from the winning bid. Now, the purchase of an artwork not only supports The Center but also the artists who made the auction possible.

In advance of the auction, browse lots and place max bids before live bidding begins on Saturday, July 27th, at 9:00pm ET. Registration for the live auction will close on Saturday, July 27th at 4:00pm ET. Learn more about the event and purchase tickets here.

Artworks can be delivered free of charge to addresses in the Hamptons in August and New York City thereafter. For all other destinations, shipping can be arranged at cost to the buyer through the Byrd Hoffman Water Mill Foundation.

Live Auction
Participating in a live auction means you’ll be competing against bidders in real time on an auction room floor. You can place max bids which will be represented by Artsy in the auction room or you can bid live when the auction opens.
