CPW 2025 Benefit Auction

Bid on Fabulous Works by Major Artists and Photographers in the 2025 CPW Benefit Auction!

The annual CPW Benefit Auction has long been known as a great opportunity to collect exceptional works at affordable prices. The auction is live on Artsy and we are ready for bids, with great deals starting at $150. This year’s auction features contemporary and historical photographs by over 50 artists. The auction closes at noon on Wednesday, November 5.

Just a handful of the phenomenal artists who have generously donated their artwork to CPW for this auction include: Sabiha Çimen, Mitch Epstein, Elizabeth Pedinotti Haynes, Tommy Kha, William Klein, Justine Kurland, Vivian Maier, Tanya Marcuse, Raymond Meeks, Susan Meiselas, Meryl Meisler, Helina Metaferia, Irving Penn, Martha Naranjo Sandoval, Stephen Shore, Vivian Maier, and many more!

Among the contemporary photographs is a special group of works by artists featured in CPW’s much talked-about 2025 exhibition, The Rose, co-curated by the artist Justine Kurland, as well as a selection of work from our friends at Blind Spot. Auction proceeds will help make up for canceled federal arts funding, and provide invaluable support to CPW at a transformative moment in its growth.
