"The 1%," Letterpress on paper, ed. of 25, 2011. (Photo courtesy of Postmasters Gallery)

As our Wienerfest grows near, one lucky baller now has the chance to own this exclusive letterpress print “The 1%” by William Powhida! This generous donation originally came out of a request from Michelle Vaughan as a birthday gift for her husband, the art market and finance journalist Felix Salmon. Painstakingly typeset by Vaughan herself, we think it would make an excellent Christmas gift for any malcontent in your family. We want it.

We expect this one to go fast, so hurry! Be the first to donate $750 dollars, and this print will be yours. That purchase comes with the added bonus of keeping New York’s best art blog running.

For those with a special taste for irreverence, our first two donors at the $500 level will win an art tour of either Chelsea or the Lower East Side with our boss, Art Fag City founder and editor Paddy Johnson. She’s spent the last seven years, boots on the ground, combing the scene; if you want an inside look into emerging art spaces to watch, this is about as good as it gets.

If you would like the print or a once-in-a-lifetime Art Fag tour, all you gotta do is ask. Please specify your desire in the message field of our donation page and we’ll hook you up. While you’re at it, hurry up and get your tickets for our official Art Fag City Wienerfest and Fundraiser below:

Details:

• We’ve got wieners by Jay Batlle!
• We’ve got wieners by Michael Mahalchick!
• We’ve got wieners by cooks you don’t even know of yet!
• Marching band music!
• Plus, a raffle for a ceramic bong by Jesse Edwards and more!

The best part of all? Proceeds from the Wienerfest ticket and raffle sales will go directly to keeping
New York’s best non-profit art blog running AND offering hurricane relief to the hard hit DUMBO
arts non-profit Smack Mellon. Tickets to the event are $90 for the masses ($45 for the ticket, $45 to
Smack Mellon), $55 for Discounted Joint Donation ($45 for the ticket, $10 to Smack Mellon), $35 for artists, and $25 for groups of ten or more. You’ll pay $5 more if you buy at the door.

I’m an artist! $35 each: Or: I’m not an artist, but I want to buy one or more a ticket! If you’ve got someone specific in mind, note them in the additional information field when you check out via Paypal – we’ll make sure they’re on the list.
We’re a group! $25 each: A super discounted rate when you buy 10 or more.
My heart is too big. I just want to donate this amount: If I give $500 or more, I’ll receive a private lunch and tour around the New York neighborhood of my choice with AFC’s own Paddy Johnson.
