WELCOME
Every two years, with great anticipation, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego stages its benefit Art Auction, an exhibition and fundraiser that infuses resources into the Museum’s acquisitions and programs. The dozens of works on view are created by the leading artists of our time. Whether at the peak of their careers or at the launch, nearby or international, these noteworthy artists have been selected and their works vetted by the Museum’s curatorial team. Indeed, the objects reflect the curatorial interests and perspective of MCASD. Numerous artists included in the benefit Art Auction have been featured in MCASD exhibitions and many have works in the collection. With tremendous generosity, these artists donate their creations. We are incredibly moved by their support and recognize their crucial role in the success of this fundraiser. Their donations not only benefit MCASD, but also foster the act of collecting. Over the decades, countless local collections have been enhanced through the benefit Art Auction. The opportunity to live with a unique work of art is a lure, yet the field is vast. This dynamic event narrows the scope and provides the context, highlighting works of the highest caliber that reflect the adventurous spirit of MCASD. Here, artists become patrons, museum-goers become art collectors, and MCASD becomes the hub that connects the art of our time with the people of our region. We encourage you to find your art in this dynamic exhibition and we thank you for your support.

Stylistically, Madani’s paintings reference bullet holes, pine-tree air fresheners—and indeed, celebrities.
