This spring, Christie’s is honored to support the Bronx Museum of the Arts through a series of charity auctions. A selection of works sold to benefit the museum, including several by native Bronx artists, will be included in both the March Post-War to Present and May 21st Century Day sales and a Christie’s auctioneer will take the rostrum at the museum’s anniversary gala.
The Bronx Museum is one of the only major NYC museums with free admission, making it a vital resource not just for residents in The Bronx, but thousands of residents from all five boroughs and tourists visiting NYC annually. Today an internationally recognized cultural destination, for the past five decades, The Bronx Museum has presented hundreds of exhibitions featuring works by culturally diverse and under-represented artists. The Museum’s permanent collection of 2,000+ works preserves and documents artists who are not typically represented within traditional museum collections by showcasing work by artists of African, Asian, and Latin American ancestry, as well as artists for whom the Bronx has been critical to their development. Now in its 50th year, the Bronx Museum continues to promote its mission of the arts accessible to all audiences.
