Finally! An Art Auction for People Who Hate Art

This is the time of year when New York’s socialite set starts gathering for charity dinners and gala auctions, where those who still have money to burn can get their name in Page Six by way overpaying for both dinner and art purchases, all in the name of charity.

If you’ve got just a little less cash to go around but still want to get in on this game, check out NYxNY’s Bad Art Auction, taking place for the second year tonight at West Village bar Le Poisson Rouge.

You won’t see any Rothkos or Warhols up for bidding, but last year’s items ranged from inflatable pig paintings to NASCAR portraits. So bring your wallet--and a sense of humor--as all proceeds go to nonprofit New York Cares.
