“At Artsy we are deeply saddened by the devastation caused by the recent wildfires in LA. It is truly heartbreaking how these repeated tragic events have impacted and displaced so many families, friends, colleagues, artists, and gallery partners, originating from the West Coast myself, it is even more important to me that Artsy remains committed to philanthropic support of those affected, and we are pleased that Artsy can play its part in the relief efforts by staging this series of benefit sales to raise critically needed funds. By participating in these auctions, collectors and philanthropists alike will be able to make a direct impact on the lives of those affected by this disaster”.
