The prints include a new pigmented digital output from daguerroeotype work by Chuck Close as well as a new aquatint by Helen Frankenthaler both printed by ULAE, new and exciting pigmented digital output Iris prints by Terry Winters and Susan Rothenberg, also printed by U.L.A.E. and Brand X Editions, a tabletop sculpture of a house by Louise Bourgeois in an edition of six, and prints by Jane Hammond, Rebecca Horn, Annie Leibovitz, Sol LeWitt, Elizabeth Murray, Darryl Pottorf, and Robert Rauschenberg. Most of the prints have been heavily discounted to encourage buyers (the price range is generally between $2,500 and $6,000 -- though the Bourgeois is $40,000). More prints are expected in the benefit, including ones by Jean-Marc Bustamente and Jeff Koons.
