The actor was tapping a gavel against the podium at Sotheby’s, sounding the alarm for the crowd filtering into the ground floor auction hall. “All you people coming downstairs, hurry,” he called out to the stragglers. “Because we’re here tonight to raise money for a very good cause.”auction and party, and was gamely riling up the crowd.
The pushing, of course, was metaphorical as bidders crowded each other out on the various bid sheets. “I have to say, I love this one,” remarked NYAA trustee Brooke Shields as she walked by Sean Mellyn’s snowman sketch “Hog Tied,” which proved to be a particularly popular piece; the bid sheet was practically full with back-and-forth bidding well before its 8 p.m. close.
