Dead Darlings #16 - A Public Affair

Dead Darlings

Dead Darlings invite you to our next edition - A Public Affair - taking place on Sunday, June 4th during Amsterdam Art Week.

Schaafstraat 21

Dead Darlings invite you to our anonymous art auction on Sunday, June 4th during Amsterdam Art Week. “A Public Affair” is a collaboration with Oedipus Brewing, and Young Collectors Circle.Join us on June 4th at Schaafstraat 21, Amsterdam Noord! The auction begins at 16:00 sharp! Come earlier to get a drink, your paddle number and view the artworks on display. Doors open at 12 noon.For those of you unfamiliar with our events, here is a little background: At Dead Darlings, all the artists names will be listed, but not in connection with the work. The names of the makers will be revealed during the auction, only after the purchase of the lot! Our name was inspired by the phrase “to kill your darling”. This refers to a work that an artist has created, yet for any variety of reasons, was not yet brought to light. Was it too experimental? Too personal? Too a-typical? Whatever it is that makes this piece a dead darling, means that its place in the artist’s oeuvre is ambiguous and valuation is difficult. That’s where we come in to breathe new life into those dead darlings! We ask artists to offer us such a work at a very low starting price in order to participate in our lively ongoing discussion about how art is valued, while creating an inclusive platform with affordable artworks.Check out our fabulous diverse list of artists and the captivating array of works they chose to place under the DD hammer! We can’t wait to engage you with their stories, surprise you with their creators, and celebrate the redistribution of value in an auction that challenges convention and serves delicious food for thought that you can wash down with a profusion of Oedipus beer!
