New York’s Exit Art is an alternative art space which supports emerging contemporary artists.

ArtJetSet attended the preview for their annual Ecstasy 2010 Benefit Auction, being held this Monday June 7 7:30-9:30pm.

The Silent Auction has a wealth of incredible works for sale, a great opportunity to support an outstanding art initiative as well as scooping up great art by up and coming as well as known and established contemporary artists.

This benefit is a brilliant way to build an art collection that will triple its value, ArtJetSet suggests these best bets:

Bruce High Quality Foundation’s Dio Whooper, an echo to Oldenburg and they currently have a piece in the Whitney Bienniale. AIDS-3D who had a monumental sculpture in the New Museum’s Younger Than Jesus show. Scott Campbell who’s current show in New York’s OHWOW gallery is getting a lot of media attention.

James Nares gorgeous oil and iron fillings on paper is an ArtJetSet favorite. Rirkrit Tiravanija who exhibits internationally and had an installation last year at the Guggenheim. Rashid Johnson, up and coming New York artist.

Michal Rovner, Rico Gaston and many other easy and approachable works.
