a record-breaking $420K—the highest raised by a single work
of art in the 7-year history of the ArtCrush benefit. Other

Deputy Chairman, Principal Auctioneer and Worldwide Head of
Contemporary Art Tobias Meyer, included Rashid Johnson’s

museum directors, curators, and global business leaders.

hotel,” was preceded by associated events WineCrush, a
private wine tasting and dinner at the home of John &
Amy Phelan guided by master sommeliers; PreviewCrush, a
public viewing of donated artworks featured in the
ArtCrush live
