Zeng Fanzhi exhibition in New York – Apr 2 to May 15
Posted on May 1 - Filed Under Arts | View Comments
It’s still not late, if you are in the neighborhood, go and see one of our favorite contemporary artists’, Zeng Fanzhi’s exhibition at Acquavella Galleries in New York (18 East 79th Street, New York, 10075)
We have been covering Fanzhi’s million-dollar sales events for a while and for some unexplainable reason (other than that he is really good) we love his work a lot.
If you do visit the exhibition, please send us some photos (needless to say, legal photos only)

The winning bid is $2,110,100 , which is almost 4 times of what was paid last year for the same auction ($650,000) According to Bloomberg, Zhao Danyang, the hedge-fund manager of Pureheart China Growth Investment Fund (Shenzhen, China) had the winning bid.
100% of proceeds from the auction benefits the Glide Foundation, one of the most effective institutions working to alleviate human suffering and poverty in the San Francisco Bay Area. Mr. Buffett has described Glide as “maybe the most effective organization I’ve seen for people down on their luck.” – source: eBay auction page.
The dinner will take place at Smith & Wollensky in New York City.

Specializing in fresh seafood and lobster and assorted steaks and chops, Smith & Wollensky is well recognized for its healthy portions, seasoned service staff and pop Americana ambience. The surnames, Smith and Wollensky, were chosen from the local telephone directory by the restaurant’s founder Alan Stillman, of T.G.I. Friday’s fame.
