See inside The New York Academy of Art's annual Take Home a Nude art party and benefit.
The New York Academy of Art returned to the uptown auction house this fall for its Take Home a Nude art party and auction. The evening started with a silent auction featuring the work of students from the school.
“I love the excitement that it instills in people — not just for competition, but for celebration of the artists,” said Brooke Shields, a longtime supporter of the academy. “You know, you watch people, and they have to really be moved by something because these are students, and you go to the art first rather than the name of the artist. And I really think just in general in the art world in its entirety — and in my industry — it’s the same thing.
“I love the works we have this year. The live auction is by far the most exciting: There’s John Currin and Will Cotton and Tracey Emin and Jonas Wood, and it’s amazing,” he added. “What I love is that we’re supported by the most amazing artist community, everything from students to really super high-profile artists, and to see it all together is just so super gratifying.”
After the silent auction lots had closed and the gavel had rung on all of the works during the live auction, guests including Martha Hunt, Alan Cumming, Tali Lennox, Cynthia Rowley, Nicole Miller and Ippolita Rostagno headed to an upper floor of the auction house for dinner. The evening was honoring artist Dana Schutz, who had recently given birth to her third child but had also created a new work for the event, which was auctioned to benefit the newly created Dana Schutz Scholarship.
“It’s a very unique program, because it really teaches a lot of foundational skills, and it’s in the city,” said the artist, a Take Home a Nude event newbie. “I’ve had friends who have gone here, and it’s an excellent program.”Brooke Shields, Greg Unis and Martha Hunt. Lexie Moreland/WWD
