POST BY PADDY JOHNSON

I want that Michael Smith Sears Class Portrait. It reminds me of a post Karen Archey wrote for the blog last year surveying an array of weird portraits in art and the larger web, and as a self professed connoisseur of strange stuff, this very much appeals to me.
Those interested in owning the piece have a chance at it; It’s part of Rhizome’s benefit silent auction, which includes 12 items available for bidding until 11:45 pm tonight. The works will be on display at Rhizome’s Annual Benefit tonight, which this year is free (although also sold out).
Seeing as how this is the case, I won’t bother tantalizing readers with event details. I have however taken the liberty of highlighting a few auction items I think are worth bid placement. Help a worthy cause out!
Paul Chan, Sade for Font’s Sake, 2010, Data CD containing 21 truetype fonts and a collection of digital artworks by artist Paul Chan. For Rhizome, Chan has created a special edition of 100, with signed DVD and limited print. To reserve one, email laurencornell@rhizome.org Retail Value: $300
