ARTSPACE MAGAZINE: Look Inside The New York City AIDS Memorial Auction

Written By Dave Harper

"Unquestioning love demonstrates largesse”. Those are the words chiselled into Jenny Holzer’s white marble bench which is being offered in a high-profile sale featuring a truly incredible selection of contemporary art, at Christie’s in November 2021 to benefit the New York City AIDS Memorial.

Though Holzer’s bench was made in 2019, the text forms part of her long-running Truisms series, and it may hold special resonance for the bidders at this particular auction. The sale, entitled Unquestioning Love, inspired by the work Holzer donated, will present an incredible selection of contemporary artworks across two auctions and a private sale (Holzer’s bench is offered via private sale), including many fresh from the artists' studios.
