  <description>Founded in 1995 by brothers Russell, Danny and Joseph &quot;Rev. Run&quot; Simmons, Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation is dedicated to providing disadvantaged urban youth with significant exposure and access to the arts, as well as providing exhibition opportunities to under-represented artists and artists of color.  A 501(C)3 organization, Rush Philanthropic fulfills its mission through three core programs: grants, exhibitions and mentoring.  
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;


Since the founding of Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation (RPAF), Rush has impacted the lives of over 700,000 urban youth, directed millions in funding from donors (including individuals, foundations, and leading corporations) to underserved youth, and established two exhibit and education facilities, Corridor Gallery in Brooklyn's Clinton Hill neighborhood and Rush Arts Gallery in Manhattan's Chelsea arts district. Initially, to jump-start the Rush Arts Gallery and Community Grants programs the Foundation hosted its first gala benefit at the Puck building in Manhattan, with Run-DMC providing headlining entertainment. Soon after RPAF created its signature event - the Art For Life benefit and auction hosted at Rush's Co-Founder Russell Simmons' East Hampton estate.  It has been a sold out success for the past 8 years. 

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;/images/highlights/artforlife/1.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:
right; margin-left: 10px;&quot;&gt;


Now a franchise with galas in both East Hampton and Miami, the proceeds from Art For Life directly support Rush's grants, education and exhibition programming.  Our developed programming reflects Rush's tremendous growth and service to the community. To date, The Rush Community Grants Program annually provides direct funding to over 70 nonprofit organizations that offer education programming in all disciplines of the arts to New York City and South Florida youth.  The Rush Kids Program has evolved into an intensive year-round arts education program that hones the students' art making skills, bringing youth from across New York City into our gallery spaces, where they discuss contemporary art, learn about materials, and create artwork. Art concepts and cognitive skills are developed progressively throughout the program while exploring works from artists exhibited in the gallery.  

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Rush Philanthropic has been fortunate to have the advantage of the media power of our founders Russell, Danny and Joseph &quot;Rev. Run&quot; Simmons.  This has given the organization an exceptional platform from which to highlight the lack of access to the arts that most disadvantaged New York City children face, and speak out on the challenges facing underrepresented artists.  While proud of our successes to date, we also look towards a future in which our own programs grow to encompass more children and artists while we simultaneously use our grants program to complement our work and strengthen the network of arts education providers and alternative exhibition spaces around New York City.

      <name>Enjoy the Sweet Life with Serendipity 3's Founder &amp; Creator, Stephen Bruce</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: lunch for 4 guests with Founder &amp; Creator of Serendipity 3, Stephen Bruce.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There aren't many places left that make you want to blow bubbles through an ice-cream-soda straw. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.serendipity3.com&quot;target=_blank&quot;&gt;Serendipity 3&lt;/a&gt; is proof that life isn't always a cabaret - sometimes it's a sweet-sixteen party. Half Provincetown antique-queen attic, half Mad Hatter tea party, it's one of the few spaces kids like that doesn't have a ride. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;More than a mere coffee shop, more of an ice cream parlor on steroids, Serendipity has always been synonymous with fun. Since 1954, its menu of outrageous desserts and fun food, served in a Manhattan townhouse amid exuberant Victorian decorations, has charmed children and their parents, not to mention celebrities from Andy Warhol to Beyonc&amp;eacute;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Fifty-five years after founding this gem of a restaurant, Stephen Bruce continues to welcome customers into the world famous Serendipity and celebrate its successes in the form of three fabulous books which capture all of the restaurant's splendor and charm. Stephen's &quot;Sweet Serendipity,&quot; &quot;Serendipity Sundaes,&quot; and &quot;Serendipity Parties&quot; all disclose the secrets of Serendipity's international appeal, including some of the restaurants most famous recipes and photographs of the many celebrities who tasted and enjoyed them. With a personal philosophy of &quot;let life take you where it may,&quot; it's no wonder that with only $500 and some family recipes, Stephen Bruce managed to create one of the worlds most colorful and fabulous restaurant. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
See the setting/inspiration for the John Cusack romantic comedy &quot;Serendipity&quot; first-hand and understand how easy it is to fall in love over the many wonderful confections Serendipity 3 has to offer with its Founder and Creator, Stephen Bruce! </description>

      <name>Iconic Be&amp;D Garbo Studded Satchel</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: Be&amp;D Garbo studded satchel.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http&quot;//www.beandd.com&quot;target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Be&amp;D&lt;/a&gt; began in 2004 at the kitchen of a Greenpoint, Brooklyn loft. It was here that the duo created their very first design, the Garbo, modeled after a vintage bag found on holiday in a Beirut market. The bag quickly became an international phenomenon, catapulting Be &amp; D onto the scene as a new force in the luxury market.  Today, production takes place in Be &amp;D's New York atelier and Italy.  The brand has grown to encompass day and evening bags, clutches, soft goods, and since Autumn/Winter 2007, shoes.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br.
The Be &amp; D collection is skillfully made with premium leathers, exotic skins and custom hardware.  Targeted toward a sensibility rather than an age group, each piece is timeless yet relevant.  Be&amp;D has been photographed on the likes of celebrities including Liv Tyler, Charlize Theron, Jessica Biel, Penelope Cruz and is beloved by top editors, stylists and fashion trendsetters around the globe.  
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Here is your chance to own a piece that started it all, The Garbo in Quince lambskin with light brown cow leather trim and nickel hardware!

      <description>Includes: Purple jersey one-shoulder &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.versace.com&quot;target=_blank&quot;&gt;Versace&lt;/a&gt; cocktail dress - size 38 (US size 8).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Since the first Versace boutique was opened in Milan's Via della Spiga in 1978, its popularity was immediate. This has held true through the years as Versace is still as popular as ever. Today, Versace is one of the world's leading international fashion houses and has taken the fashion industry by storm the last few years with Donatella's independent, strong woman inspired collection, but at the same time making it look sexy, fierce, and chic. Versace has a very wide band of A-list celebrities and models supporting Versace as well as wearing their clothing.

Based in East Hampton and Manhattan, the expanded company offers fitness classes, Boot Camps, and Get Lifted Fitness Retreats, which will offer an infusion of services/classes geared towards inspiring a balanced Mind, Body and Soul! 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Rebecca's latest endeavor, Booty Slide Fitness, is a fitness class geared towards women-on-the-go, with a focus on lifting buns and shaping/firming hips and thighs.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
This fabulous fitness package includes: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Gettin' The Boot Fitness Bootcamp&lt;/b&gt;
Boot Camps are designed to challenge the mind, body and soul and are usually done outdoors to enjoy the geography and to take ourselves out of the &quot;four walls&quot; that usually make up our training space. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

An hour of customizable workouts for a group of up to 20 people set to fun upbeat music consisting of: &lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Core Exercises 
&lt;li&gt;Calisthenics 
&lt;li&gt;Tug of War

&lt;li&gt;Military and Agility Drills 
&lt;li&gt;Flag Football 
&lt;li&gt;Kickboxing/Boxing Drills 
&lt;li&gt;Yoga (last 10 minutes of camp)&lt;/ul&gt;

*Boot Camp can be done anywhere such as; the beach, a backyard or park; wherever the winner of the auction wants within location restrictions. Be prepared to sweat and bring water! That's an order from Sergeant Kordecki!
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;One Private Booty Slide Session with Rebecca&lt;/b&gt;
Booty Slide is the latest Fitness Class developed by Rebecca.  Booty Slide's revolutionary concept and intense cardio/core approach to body shaping penetrates problem areas such as hips, buns and thighs in under 40 minutes. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;


The workout combines principles from Pilates and slide training and many people have referred to it as &quot;Lotte Berk meets Radu&quot;. In just 40 minutes you will work all of your body from head to toe and engage you at a cardio pace that will leave you sweating. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Each participant wears soft, slippery booties, and performs sliding and lunge-like motions with all parts of the body. The workout requires considerable stamina and insures that both legs are simultaneously engaged. It's an excellent way to target the core while lifting, shaping and firming all other areas of your body from head to toe! Come Get Bootylicious! 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Sixty Minute Deep Tissue Massage with Rebecca&lt;/b&gt;
Rebecca can come to the winner's home (location restrictions apply) or the winner can come to her Amagansett location.

      <name>Signed UFC Gloves from Quentin &quot;Rampage&quot; Jackson</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: new signed UFC gloves from Quentin &quot;Rampage&quot; Jackson. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Like many mma fighters, Quentin &quot;Rampage&quot; Jackson was an outstanding high school wrestler.  He became the UFC's light heavyweight champion in 2007 after an impressive knockout of Chuck Liddell, one of the sports most popular light heavyweights.  
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Jackson gained prominence in Japan fighting for Pride.  He is most known for his vicious power slams and his heavy hands.  One particular fight in 2004 against Ricardo Arona ended with Jackson's arm trapped in an armbar and Jackson picking his opponent up over his head and slamming him so hard that he was unconscious.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;


Jackson's UFC career began in 2006 with a victory over Marvin Eastman and subsequent victories over Chuck Liddell and Dan Henderson, the latter of which unified the Pride and UFC light heavyweight belts.  Jackson's sense of humor and his tenacious power slams should keep him around for quite some time as one of the premier light heavyweights in the world.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

      <name>2 Photo Facials or Ten Chemical Peels from SLEEK New York</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: certificate to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sleekmedspa.com&quot;target=_blank&quot;&gt;SLEEK&lt;/a&gt; New York for 2 photo facials or ten chemical peels.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;ABOUT SLEEK PHOTO FACIALS:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Undo your skin sins of the past! If excessive sun exposure has left you with sun spots, red patches, broken capillaries, fine lines and other skin concerns then a Photo Facial is the right treatment for you. This quick and easy laser treatment will leave you with the smooth, clear skin of your youth.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Your Sleek Practitioner uses a Laser Treatment to target any discoloration within the skin and draw the unwanted pigment to the surface. The laser light is concentrated to target its power deep down into the dermis to treat acne, veins and discolorations. A couple of days after each treatment the pigmented area will rise to the surface and flake off. This process is assisted with Microdermabrasion or Chemical Peels between laser treatments to help continue the exfoliation process, and provide improved skin tone and texture.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;ABOUT SLEEK CHEMICAL PEELS:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Slough away the upper layer of dead skin cells as well as penetrate into the upper layers of the dermis to soften fine lines, promote a rosy glow, encourage better penetration of other skin-care products or even dry an acne flare up. Your Sleek Practitioner uses a chemical solution to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing the damaged layers. It is helpful for those individuals with facial blemishes, acne prone skin, blackheads, whiteheads, wrinkles and uneven skin pigmentation. The precise formula used may be adjusted to meet each patient's needs. There are many different types of Chemical Peels to choose from. Your Sleek Practitioner will determine which Chemical Peel is suited for your skin needs.</description>

The staff will go to any lengths to make their guests' stay a true delight.&lt;Br&gt;&lt;Br&gt;A sweeping stairway will transport guests to their own magnificently appointed suite accommodations with custom-made bedding and numerous luxurious amenities throughout.

These archival quality, mounted, photographs make memorable one-of-a-kind lifetime gifts for you or a loved one.&lt;Br&gt;&lt;Br&gt;Dan shoots in both black and white and color, either in his studio in New York City or in your home&#8212;whichever you choose.&lt;Br&gt;&lt;Br&gt;After all this pampering, your doggie friend will be ready to kick up his or her heels and party!

      <name>2 Tickets &amp; Backstage Passes to Smokey Robinson's August 7th Concert at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga, CA</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: 2 tickets &amp; backstage passes to Smokey Robinson's August 7th Concert at 7:30pm at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga, CA.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Singer, songwriter, and record producer. Born on February 19, 1940, in Detroit, Michigan. Growing up in a rough neighborhood, Robinson started out singing in local groups. In the early 1950s, he formed the Matadors, which later became the world famous Miracles. A chance meeting with record producer Berry Gordy, Jr. led to a contract with Motown Records as well as an important working relationship. The Miracles scored their first big hit with &quot;Shop Around&quot; (1960) and developed quite a following with their energetic R&amp;B sound. The group has numerous hits, including &quot;You Really Got a Hold on Me&quot; (1962) and &quot;I Second That Emotion&quot; (1967). Robinson also worked behind the scenes, composing and producing for the Miracles and other Motown artists, such as Mary Wells and the Temptations. His work contributed to the success of Motown Records and helped advance the popularity of soul music.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Robinson went solo in 1972, creating a more mellow sound for himself. Often associated with romantic soul music, he released such successful albums as A Quiet Storm (1974) and Touch the Sky (1983). Robinson went on to win his first Grammy Award as a solo artist in 1987 for Best R&amp;B Vocal Performance, Male for the song &quot;Just To See Her&quot; from the album One Heartbeat. Other later solo recordings included Double Good Everything (1991) and Intimate (1999). He took his work in a new direction in 2004, releasing a collection of music that reflected his spiritual beliefs entitled Food for the Spirit.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
In 2006, Robinson was selected to be a Kennedy Center Honoree for his contributions to the arts and American culture and received an honorary degree from Howard University. That year, he also put out a new album, Timeless Love, which offered Robinson's own take on several classic songs, such as Cole Porter's &quot;Night and Day&quot; and the Gershwin brothers' &quot;Our Love Is Here to Stay.&quot; Smokey's latest effort, &quot;Time Flies When Your Having Fun&quot; has just been completed and will debut with his appearance on American Idol on March 26th 2009.

      <name>4 Tickets and a Meet &amp; Greet with Third Eye Blind in August in NYC</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: 4 tickets and a meet &amp; greet with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thirdeyeblind.com&quot;target=_blank&quot;&gt;Third Eye Blind&lt;/a&gt; in August in NYC (date to be announced).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Since 1997, San Francisco's Third Eye Blind have recorded three best-selling albums and assembled one career retrospective. 3EB will release 'Ursa Major', their first studio collection in five years, in autumn 2009.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Led by Stephan Jenkins, 3EB won wide success during a tumultuous group of years when the major-label recording industry was finally losing its grip on an enterprise that for decades it had dominated with steely efficiency. Nothing could have made 3EB happier! 3EB, however, have experienced no comparable loss. Instead, they have gained artistic clarification -- and, surprisingly, a fan base larger than ever.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Participation in the older, untouchable realm of nervous star-making and could color a band's identity. In the case of 3EB, it often blurred the perception of their brilliant musical creations. In recent years, those creations have recast the band among a current generation of fans.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
3EB now write, tour, record, and communicate in a fluid new world where their music continues naturally to evolve. Their exchange with their audience is unfiltered. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bid now for you and 3 friends to see 3EB in NYC this August and meet the band!</description>

      <name>&lt;i&gt;Ingrid Bergman at Stromboli, 1949&lt;/i&gt;, Black &amp; White Photograph by Gordon Parks</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>&lt;b&gt;Gordon Parks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Ingrid Bergman at Stromboli, 1949&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;
black &amp; white photograph&lt;br&gt;
14&quot; x 16&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Few photographers offer a record of 20th-century life as candid and provocative as Gordon Parks. Born in Fort Scott, Kansas in 1912, he began working professionally in the early 1940s. He generated one of his most enduring images, American Gothic, in 1942 as part of a documentary project in Washington, D.C. The photograph is a reference to Grant Wood's famous painting of the same name and depicts a black cleaning woman holding a broom against a backdrop of an American flag. The image conveys the hardship of the woman's life and the unfulfilled promise of equality for African Americans. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

From 1948-1972, Parks served as staff photographer for LIFE magazine. With a straightforward and sympathetic eye, he investigated a range of pressing social issues including crime and urban decay in Harlem, segregation in Alabama, disease in the slums of Brazil and the struggle for civil rights by the Black Muslims. Parks dramatized these issues through his portrayal of the day-to-day struggles of individuals and families that he grew to know well. Parks firmly believed in the power of the camera to shed light on social inequity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Throughout his career, Parks also composed images of fashion models, musicians, writers, artists, actors and sports figures for publications such as &lt;i&gt;Vogue&lt;/i&gt;. Portraits of celebrities included Ingrid Bergman, Duke Ellington and Muhammad Ali. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

      <name>Three-Night Stay at the Mondrian Los Angeles for Two, including Agua Spa Treatments &amp; Bottle of Champagne at Skybar</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: a three-night stay at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mondrianhotel.com&quot;target=_blank&quot;&gt;Mondrian Los Angeles&lt;/a&gt; for two; Agua spa treatments for two; and a complimentary bottle of champagne at Skybar.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Experience a bold new Mondrian in the heart of West Hollywood, rejuvenated by Benjamin Noriega Ortiz. This new incarnation of one of the original luxury boutique hotels draws its inspiration from the serene coastal landscapes of Southern California and captures everything the Sunset Strip stands for - excitement, invincibility and glamour. Entering Mondrian through its signature, thirty-foot mahogany doors, guests are bathed in a sensuous daylight that highlights the creamy whites and warm marigold palette of the entryway. Progressing into the lobby, the sun sets. Day becomes night and reality becomes fantasy as Noriega-Ortiz invites the imagination down the proverbial rabbit hole. Deep blues and purples surround the space, complimented by custom-designed furniture, including a Lucite indoor swing and a mushroom-inspired concierge center.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You and your guest will also enjoy Agua spa treatments for two. Located in the center of one of the world's most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities, the recently renovated agua spa is a Los Angeles urban sanctuary-a refuge from the hurried pace of modern life, agua, with its pristine and exquisitely Zen vibe, is the ideal environment in which to explore the remarkable restorative powers of quiet repose, personal attention and total indulgence on the mind, on the body, and on the soul.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Finally, end the evening with a complimentary bottle of champagne at Skybar. Boasting some of the finest views of Los Angeles, Skybar, an open air, ivy-covered pavilion perched above the Pool and Outdoor Living Room, has been the spot for the hottest Los Angeles nightlife from the day it opened. Redesigned as the ultimate LA lounge by Tim Andreas of Banjo, Skybar appears to almost float in the clouds, with an open-air hut that sparkles with custom-designed furniture handmade in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Luxurious lounge seating is accented with yellow and gold; unique reflective glass surfaces evoke the Pacific Ocean.

      <description>Blue Rider Horse print on watercolor paper 36&quot; x 24&quot; by Laurance Rassin&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

New York artist and artistic director of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.http://www.thenewblueriders.com/&quot;target=_blank&quot;&gt;The New Blue Riders&lt;/a&gt;, Laurance Rassin continues to create a sumptuous and color filled world, enveloping his audience in signature large scale impasto oil paintings, bronze sculptures, ceramics, tapestries, and textiles in a way that is uniquely Rassin. Weaving an over-arching narrative with over 500 original works of art, Laurance interjects humor to his whimsical characters and interior scenes allowing his fictional almost cinematic stories to unfold. With Laurance's work, now featured regularly at Bonhams &amp; Butterfields, 20th Century in Manhattan, he has shown not only auction house appeal, but also terrific pop appeal.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rassin makes his art in a myriad forms seducing his audience into a world where art is not a back drop; it is the focal point of a room, office or gallery and in the case of his clothing line, a sexy runway.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Rassin grew up outside Washington, DC and Palm Beach, Fla. and graduated from American University with a Bachelor of Arts in 1991. Here he honed his visual, cinematic, musical and fine art talents.</description>

      <name>&lt;i&gt;Rush Kid Ike&lt;/i&gt;, 2006 Print by Kehinde Wiley</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>&lt;b&gt;Kehinde Wiley&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Rush Kid Ike&lt;/i&gt;, 2006&lt;br&gt;
Print&lt;br&gt;
Numbered 10/25&lt;br&gt;
Signed and dated 2006&lt;br&gt;
8&quot; x 10&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From the artist: &quot;Much of my painting originates from preparatory drawings, these drawings are the aesthetic foundation of the large scale paintings. The drawing I've created for Art For Life is an interpretation of a Copley painting entitled Madame Pieter van Bleiswijk, featuring one of the Rush Kids as the model.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kehinde Wiley is a New York based painter from Los Angeles who has situated himself firmly within art history's tradition of portrait painting. Wiley, as the contemporary descendent of a long line of portraitists including Reynolds, Gainsborough, Titian, Ingres, and others, appropriates the signs and visual rhetoric of the heroic, powerful, opulent, majestic, and sublime in his representations of young, urban, black men.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The subjects and stylistic references for his paintings are juxtaposed inversions of each other, forcing ambiguity and provocative perplexity to pervade his imagery. By applying the visual vocabulary and conventions of glorification, history, wealth, power, and prestige to subject matter drawn from the urban fabric in which he is embedded, Wiley presents his young men as both heroic and pathetic, aestheticized and reified, autonomous and manipulated. Ultimately, Wiley's practice disturbs and interrupts tropes of portrait painting to locate, in his words, &quot;class struggle at the level of sign&quot;.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Wiley's paintings often blur the boundaries between traditional and contemporary modes of representation. Rendered in a realistic mode -- while making references to specific old master paintings -- Wiley creates a fusion of period styles, ranging from French rococo, Islamic architecture and West African textile design to urban hip-hop and the &quot;Sea Foam Green&quot; of a Martha Stewart Interiors color swatch. Wiley's slightly larger than life size figures are depicted in a heroic manner, as their poses connote power and spiritual awakening. Wiley's portrayal of masculinity is filtered through these poses of power and spirituality.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
His portraits are based on photographs of young men who Wiley sees on the street, begun last year with men mostly from Harlem's 125th Street, the series now includes models from the South Central neighborhood where he was born. Dressed in street clothes, they are asked to assume poses from the paintings of Renaissance masters, such as Titian and Tiepolo. Wiley also embraces French rococo ornamentation; his references to this style compliment his embrace of hip-hop culture. Similarly, the poses of his figures appear to derive as much from contemporary hip-hop culture as from Renaissance paintings.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The artist describes his approach as &quot;interrogating the notion of the master painter, at once critical and complicit.&quot; Wiley's figurative paintings &quot;quote historical sources and position young black men within that field of power.&quot; In this manner, Wiley's paintings fuse history and style in a unique and contemporary manner.

      <name>&lt;i&gt;Close Knit&lt;/i&gt;, 2009 Spray Painted Stencil &amp; Mixed Media Collage by Shepard Fairey</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>&lt;b&gt;Shepard Fairey&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Close Knit&lt;/i&gt;, 2009&lt;br&gt;
Spray Painted Stencil &amp; Mixed Media Collage on Canvas&lt;br&gt;
44&quot; x 60&quot;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

&quot;I chose to illustrate this image of two girls knitting (in a Rush Arts Education program) because I think it really captures the idea that learning art in schools is about more than crayon drawings -- it's about creativity, something that transcends all class and race boundaries. I think the joy of making something is universal, and it's an opportunity that every kid should have.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Shepard Fairey is the man behind OBEY GIANT, the graphics that have changed the way people see art and the urban landscape. What started with an absurd sticker he created in 1989 while a student at the Rhode Island School of Design has since evolved into a worldwide street art campaign, as well as an acclaimed body of fine art. In 2003, Shepard founded Studio Number One, a creative design firm dedicated to applying his ethos at the intersection of art and enterprise. Shepard's art reached a new height of prominence in 2008, when his &quot;HOPE&quot; portrait of Barack Obama became the iconic image of the presidential campaign and helped inspire an unprecedented political movement. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For more information, visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.obeygiant.com&quot;target=_blank&quot;&gt;www.obeygiant.com&lt;/a&gt;.

      <name>&lt;i&gt;Honey and Rust&lt;/i&gt;, 2007 print by Francesco Clemente</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>&lt;b&gt;Francesco Clemente&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Honey and Rust&lt;/i&gt;, 2007&lt;br&gt;
Print of original watercolor on paper&lt;br&gt;
#12 from an edition of 25&lt;br&gt;
30&quot; x 42&quot;

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Francesco Clemente was born in Naples in 1952, where he spent his childhood and adolescence in close contact with seventeenth century art. After finishing secondary school, he taught himself painting and began to write and publish poetry. In 1970 he moved to Rome to attend the faculty of Architecture and met a number of artists including Cy Twombly and Alighiero Boetti, who influenced his initial artistic work.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
He held his first personal exhibition at the Galleria di Valle Giulia in Rome, then went to India, where he opened a studio in the city of Madras.
In 1979 he joined the Transavantgarde movement, theorised by the critic Achille Bonito Oliva, and became one of its leading exponents together with Chucchi, Chia, De Maria and Paladino, with whom he put on an exhibition in Cologne. From the 1980s onwards he achieved major international success at a time in history when artists were reacting against the dominant conceptual movement.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
He created a series inspired by the stations of the cross, produced numerous books, a collection of photographs of architecture and a group of miniatures painted in collaboration with the Indian artists of Madras.
In 1981 he moved to New York, where he now lives and works. He frequently puts on personal exhibitions in Europe and in the United States. The one held in the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Bologna is a foretaste of the major exhibition that the Guggenheim Museum in New York will be devoting to him next autumn.

      <name>Catherine Malandrino TBD</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Born in Grenoble, France, Fashion Designer Catherine Malandrino began her career in Paris, working in the houses of Emanuel Ungaro, Louis Feraud, and at Et Vous; she made her entrance in America in 1998, as Diane Von Furstenberg's head designer. Since starting her own label, Malandrino has woven together the two poles of her being; the energy of Manhattan, and the romance of Paris.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
To Malandrino, individuality is at the heart of fashion; no two women should look alike, because no two women are alike. Perhaps this attention to individualism is why such feminine icons as Madonna, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, Winona Ryder, Julia Roberts, Mary J Blige, and Nicole Kidman are among the many loyal Malandrino enthusiasts.</description>

      <name>&lt;i&gt;Untitled New York Series,&lt;/i&gt; 1986, by Ed Clark</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>&lt;b&gt;Ed Clark&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Untitled New York Series,&lt;/i&gt; 1986&lt;br&gt;print&lt;br&gt;ed 1/25&lt;br&gt;35&quot; x 37&quot; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Abstract artist Ed Clark has been in innovative force in contemporary American art since the 1950s and 60s. He is known for his use of shaped canvases and experimental techniques, such as his use of push broom brushstrokes. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ed Clark was born in 1926 in the Storyville section of New Orleans. In 1952 he studied abroad at L'Academie de la Grande Chaumiere in Paris, France - where, by 1953, he began exhibiting his abstract paintings.  He became engrossed in creating large-scale paintings, reaching as high as twelve feet and as wide as fifteen feet.  Having little success finding paint brushes large enough to accommodate these large canvases he discovered a new use for the push broom which he calls, &quot;the big sweep&quot;. During this time in Paris in 1956, Clark created what is now known as the &quot;first shaped canvas&quot; which is a part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The artist resides in New York City and returns to Paris to paint every summer. His work is represented by G.R. N'Namdi Gallery in New York, Chicago, and Detroit and can be found in museums around the world including:
The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL, The Detroit Art Institute, Detroit, MI., Centro de Arte Moderno, Guadalajara, Mexico, The California Afro-American Museum, Los Angeles, CA., Museum Solidarity, Titagrad, Yugoslavia, and The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York, NY. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <name>Have Alicia Keys Serenade you at her Concert!</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: One (1) personal meet &amp; greet with Alicia Keys backstage at a performance (date TBA - Fall/Winter 2009), as well as a private serenade where she will sing to the winner.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Alicia Key's artistic light is so bright it could illuminate a pitch-black room. A true musical prodigy whose multi-dimensional gifts emerged at age five, the beautiful Alicia has taken modern R&amp;B soul to a whole new level. Born aware of her old soul, yet living in New York's inner city amidst the dominant influence of hip-hop icons of Biggie and Jay Z, Alicia's natural talents blossomed into a rare mix of hip-hop flavor and insightful, wise-beyond-her-years songwriting. Coupling this with the singer's spine-tingling vocal power, positively stirring live performances and expertise as a classically trained pianist, Alicia Keys could be this generation's Roberta Flack.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bid now and  have Alicia serenade you today!</description>

      <name>&lt;i&gt;Untitled&lt;/i&gt; Print, by Romare Bearden</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>&lt;b&gt;Romare Bearden&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Untitled&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br&gt;
Lithograph&lt;br&gt;Numbered 120/150&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Romare Howard Bearden was born on September 2, 1911, to (Richard) Howard and Bessye Bearden in Charlotte, North Carolina, and died in New York City on March 12, 1988, at the age of 76. His life and art are marked by exceptional talent, encompassing a broad range of intellectual and scholarly interests, including music, performing arts, history, literature and world art. Bearden was also a celebrated humanist, as demonstrated by his lifelong support of young, emerging artists.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Recognized as one of the most creative and original visual artists of the twentieth century, Romare Bearden had a prolific and distinguished career. He experimented with many different mediums and artistic styles, but is best known for his richly textured collages, two of which appeared on the covers of Fortune and Time magazines, in 1968. An innovative artist with diverse interests, Bearden also designed costumes and sets for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and programs, sets and designs for Nanette Bearden's Contemporary Dance Theatre.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Bearden's work is included in many important public collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and The Studio Museum in Harlem, among others. He has had retrospectives at the Mint Museum of Art (1980), the Detroit Institute of the Arts (1986), as well as numerous posthumous retrospectives, including The Studio Museum in Harlem (1991) and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC (2003).
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Bearden was the recipient of many awards and honors throughout his lifetime. Honorary doctorates were given by Pratt Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, Davidson College and Atlanta University, to name but a few. He received the Mayor's Award of Honor for Art and Culture in New York City in 1984 and the National Medal of Arts, presented by President Ronald Reagan, in 1987.</description>
