2014 BENEFIT AUCTION

Welcome to SF Camerawork’s 2014 Benefit Auction. Artists, collectors, and dealers from across the country have generously contributed over 100 vintage and contemporary artworks to this year’s auction. We hope that you will find works herein to inspire your collecting spirit and the support of our organization.

2014 has been a year of important milestones for SF Camerawork. It was 40 years ago, in September 1974, that Camerawork opened its inaugural exhibition. Many years of exhibitions, events, publications, and creativity have followed, and we continue to push forward with our mission to support emerging artists and new ideas in the photographic arts.

On a more somber note, 2014 also marks 10 years since the passing of the incomparable Marnie Gillett who, as Executive Director for 20 years, led SF Camerawork into national prominence and supported the work of countless artists in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. Her legacy lives on through SF Camerawork and our extended community of supporters who continue to believe in SF Camerawork as a catalyst for production, innovation, and exploration in the field of photography.

Special thanks are due to Tony Page, Sterling Art Services, and Wirtz Gallery for their generous contribution of the matting and framing for the photographs in our auction.

Finally, we’d like to welcome and extend our deepest gratitude to auctioneer Rick Wester who is presiding over the SF Camerawork auction for the first time, donating his expertise and deep knowledge of photography towards a successful and rewarding sale.

We look forward to seeing you on November 1st!
