2015 Benefit at Christie's 2015 BENEFIT AT CHRISTIE’S TIBET HOUSE US Tibet House US is a non-profit 501(c)(3) that was founded in 1987 at the request of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who stated his wish for a long-term cultural institution to ensure the survival of the unique Tibetan civilization. In 1998, Tibet House US moved to a 7,000 square foot permanent home with an exhibition gallery on 15th Street, just west of Fifth Avenue in New York City. This cultural center is a museum, that includes a gallery, lending library, shop, and offices. At the heart of Tibet House US is the Lhakang Shrine Room, designed and created by Tibetan artists working with traditional methods and materials. TIBET HOUSE US IS DEDICATED TO 1) Presenting to the West, Tibet’s ancient traditions of art and culture, by developing national and international traveling exhibitions, publications, and media productions. 2) Preserving and restoring Tibet’s unique cultural and spiritual heritage through developing an outstanding collection of Tibetan art. 3) Establishing an archive of rare photographs and a research library; and providing support to conservation activities inside outside of Tibet. 4) Sharing with the world Tibet’s profound systems of spiritual philosophy and mind sciences, as well as its arts of human development, intercultural dialogue, nonviolence, and peacemaking, by means of innovative programs in cooperation with like-minded educational cultural institutions. THIS YEAR WE HAVE PLEDGED TO GIVE A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS TO The proceeds from our auctions are a major source of support for Tibet House US’s diverse programs.

  • FIAT-Sting + Shaggy
    Contact: Diane Morgan Alyse Nagode Fiat 124 Spider Abarth Takes Starring Role Alongside Sting & Shaggy in “Gotta Get Back My Baby” Music Video November 9, 2018, Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Fiat 124 Spider Abarth takes a starring role alongside Sting & Shaggy in the official music video for their new track “Gotta Get Back My Baby,” the latest single, co-produced by Teflon (Wyclef Jean, Fat Joe, Ruff Ryders) and Martin Kierszenbaum (Sting, Mylène Farmer, Lady Gaga), off their album "44/876," which has spent 17 weeks atop the Billboard Reggae chart. The official YouTube music video, which amassed over 2.3 million views in just a few days, was filmed in the vein of ‘80s and ‘90s buddy cop television series and movies, including “Miami Vice” and “Bad Boys,” and was directed by Michael Garcia. The video pairs Sting and Shaggy as two Miami detectives who convince their captain that they’re “going to need the Spider,” meaning his prized Fiat 124 Spider Abarth, as part of their South Beach stakeout for “the most dangerous woman in the country.” What could go wrong?! The FIAT brand is also supporting the video globally across its digital and social channels, including in the U.S on Instagram,Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. “We continue to strive for the unexpected in our marketing efforts across all FCA brands and, certainly here, the FIAT brand’s fun-spirited personality gives us the opportunity to be just a little bit more adventurous and playful in our approach with our music partners," said Olivier Francois, Chief Marketing Officer and Head of the FIAT Brand, FCA.
