10th Annual Friends of Friends Photography Auction
On Tuesday, December 12th, Friends hosted the 10th Annual Friends of Friends Photography Auction. The elegant new floor at the Metropolitan Pavilion was decorated by Chazz Levi, creating an especially festive atmosphere. The auction included a gorgeous collection of 150 photographs donated by some of the world’s most renowned photographers. The evening began with cocktails and delicious appetizers and was enjoyed by over 300 guests as they viewed the artwork. The live auction, led by the auctioneer from Phillips de Pury, Rick Wester, was lively as always, as was the ongoing bidding of the silent auction. Highlights of the night included the sales of Irving Penn’s Moroccan Fantasia, Morocco, 1951 for $13,000, and Herb Ritts, “His Holiness The Dalai Lama 1987”, for $10,000.
Thank you to all of the generous photographers, sponsors, guests and volunteers for making the 10th Annual Photography Auction a tremendous success. A very special anniversary event, we are all very pleased that the 10th Annual Auction was so special. Over $180,000 was raised to support Angkor Hospital for Children, representing a significant portion of the hospital’s operating budget!
