Singapore Art Week: Worthington’s

Turned fine art pretentiousness into a ridiculously informal 100% sell-out auction.

In line with the theme of “play” for Singapore art week, we played on the rarefied auction houses — encouraging people to question formalities and the true worth of art.

Event Objective

The first-ever informal art auction, to free audiences from the etiquettes of the art world with random paddles, 36 lots of ‘fine art’, and a drag queen auctioneer.
