Aperture Foundation will hold its 2010 Benefit Auction and SNAP! Benefit Party on Monday, November 1, at The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers, New York. This year’s event honors three outstanding individuals: photographer Richard Misrach; collector, philanthropist and former Aperture Board member Steven Ames; and New York-based gallerist Julie Saul; for their important contributions to the field of photography and to the arts. This year’s auction is Aperture’s largest ever with over 80 pieces donated to date. An “emerging artist” category has been added for the first time to acknowledge Aperture’s commitment to promoting the work of new and visionary photographers.
