AUCTION VIEWING : September 9-12, 2024 11am-4pm
Offered in two parts, The Collection of Shawn & Andrew Hosner of Thinkspace LA on September 12th and 13th celebrates the Hosners' indelible mark on contemporary art in Los Angeles and beyond, and will support Thinkspace LA's continued programming. As collectors and co-founders of Los Angeles gallery and cultural incubator Thinkspace LA, Shawn and Andrew Hosner have been an integral part of several contemporary art movements that have exploded over the last two decades. Led by their own tastes and shared passion for supporting emerging artists, the Hosners simultaneously rallied a heartful community of like minds while building a remarkable collection that represents a wide swath of bold contemporary artists—many of whom have since become internationally recognized.
Major highlights of the September 12th live auction include works from Banksy and pioneering "Beautiful Losers" Shepard Fairey, Margaret Kilgallen, Barry McGee, and Ed Templeton, as well as rising stars Roby Dwi Antono, Hebru Brantley, Javier Calleja, Jordy Kerwick, and many more. A selection of contemporary ceramics features sculpture from Raven Halfmoon, En Iwamura, Kazuhito Kawai, Narumi Nekpenekpen, Brian Rochefort, Maryam Yousif, and others. Further significant lots include works from Robert Crumb, Thierry Noir, Richard Pettibone, Betye Saar, Shizu Saldamando, and Peter Shire.
In loving memory of Shawn Hosner, a portion of proceeds from this auction will benefit the Keep A Breast Foundation.
