Sixty photographers
to auction work on Sunday
On Sunday, 70 photographs will be auctioned at the 26th Photography at Oregon Auction. The works of Brian Lanker, Eugene resident Dan Powell and Portland resident Stu Levy are among 60 prominent photographers contributing their work for the event.
“The Photography at Oregon Auction is a great opportunity for collectors eager to learn more about the history of the medium, as well as a rare chance to acquire art at a very reasonable price,” UO Museum of Art Director David Turner said in a press release for the event.
Proceeds from the event will support the UO Museum of Art, currently under renovation and set to re-open next October. Events such as the photography auction have been held in alternative locations during the construction process. The auction begins at noon at the Alumni Lounge in Gerlinger Hall, at 1468 University St. Bidding will commence at 1 p.m.
