A few behind-the-scenes looks:

From AIGA/NY:

Bid early, and bid often, and take home a piece of Unique New York! Put on your fancy duds and join us for a festive fundraiser, cocktails and art auction. Pentagram will host an evening party with no speeches, no awards, just you and your colleagues and friendly conversation. Our auction, led by the feisty auctioneer Michael Bierut,  features a small collection of covetable framed artwork, collage and constructions from twelve unique talents from our incredible New York creative pool, with whom you are all on a first-name basis: Milton, Seymour, Ivan, Paula, Massimo, Maira, Todd, Christoph, Rodrigo, James, Gary and even Stephen. Some of the works are quite large, some are quite small, but they are all huge in stature, enormously good-looking, and giant in their contribution to AIGA New York. This is your chance to get out and have some fun, and to muster a little support of your own toward our efforts of spreading inspiration and information. And hey, did we mention, like, open bar? See you there!

To be auctioned: Untitled (wood synth), Todd St. John, 2009
