2006 SVA Alumni Society Auction

The SVA Alumni Society Auction was held last night and it was the definition of a perfect evening. The champaign was flowing, the conversations were many, and the gavel was rockin'. Kudos to the SVA team for a stellar auction and big thanks to the tasteful gentleman who made the winning bid on The Trasheasters.

The wonderful Robert Ayers has a great write-up of the blow-by-blow auction action on ARTINFO. Thanks for the mention, Robert!

Pelt Featured in September Edition of "Group Show"

Group Show is a monthly online gallery that features the work of emerging and established photographers. This month's show includes my photograph "Pelt" as well as some other amazing work by talented artists like Brian Ulrich and fellow SVA alum, Molly Landrith.

Domesticated Work Selected for Saatchi Gallery/Guardian Competition

Saatchi Gallery and The Guardian newspaper have teamed up for an art contest called Your Gallery @ The Guardian.

The judges are artists Marc Quinn and Cornelia Parker; Mollie
Dent-Brocklehurst, co-director of the Gagosian gallery in London; arts
broadcaster and White Cube gallery director Tim Marlow; and Guardian
art critic Jonathan Jones. They chose 30 artists from over 10,000 registered artists on the Your Gallery site and I was fortunate enough to make that shortlist. Also making the cut is the extremely talented Chicago-based photographer, Brian Ulrich.

Visitors to the Guardian site can now vote for their favorite three artists from the list of 30 and the top ten will be awarded a show in London in late October. May I suggest the following voting strategy: 1. Amy Stein, 2. Brian Ulrich, 3. Amy Stein. Vote Now!
