Bidding Procedures

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE PRESENT AT THE OCTOBER 21ST GALA TO BUY GREAT ART!

Works in the silent and live auctions at the October 21st gala can be identified by lot number on the bid sheets hung next to each piece at The Rachofsky House. To bid on an artwork in the silent auction, guests may enter their paddle number and bid amount, noting the required bidding increments. Any work, at amfAR and TWO x TWO’s discretion, is eligible to be included in the live auction during the gala dinner; works chosen as live auction items will be labeled as such no later than Friday, October 20, 2023.

If you are unable to attend TWO x TWO for AIDS and Art on Saturday, October 21, and would like to place a bid on a live or silent auction lot, you may complete the Absentee Bid Form and submit it by Friday, October 20. A TWO x TWO auction representative can bid on your behalf up to your pre-set maximum bid. If the work is part of the live auction, you may also be on the phone with an auction representative to place your bids during the live auction.

Works in the OWNitNOW auction are accompanied by icons indicating they are part of the OWNitNOW pre-auction. These works will be for sale during the preview period from Tuesday, October 10, to Friday, October 20.

Successful bidders, including absentee bidders, will be notified no later than Monday, October 23. Please review the CONDITIONS OF SALE for more information about winning bids. All works must be removed from The Rachofsky House by 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 24, or they will be sent to storage at the winning bidder’s expense.

Contact Megan Gratch, Director of Auction, at meg@rachofskyhouse.org with any questions about bidding, absentee bids, OWNitNOW, or to obtain a catalogue.
