ICI 2017 Benefit & Auction Wednesday, October 25 Cocktails at 6:30pm Dinner at 7:30pm IAC Building 527 W 18th St New York City Join ICI’s Annual Benefit & Auction on Wednesday, October 25, as we reaffirm our commitment to curatorial practice and contemporary art. We invite you to raise a glass to the future of ICI, and in support of new programs and partnerships. On the occasion, ICI will honor philanthropist Patricia Phelps de Cisneros with the Leo Award, named after early ICI supporter and legendary gallerist Leo Castelli; and curator Jochen Volz with the 2017 Agnes Gund Curatorial Award. This year’s honorees share a vision—international in scope, supportive of artists, and focused on education—which in so many ways echoes ICI’s mission. CELEBRATE ICI The 2017 Leadership Committee and Benefit Committee, chaired by Sarah Arison, Agnes Gund, Vik Muniz, and with Honorary Co-chairs Sydie Lansing and Ann Schaffer, together with the entire ICI Board of Trustees and staff invite you to join us for an evening of art, cocktails, dinner and music: celebrations that promise to be memorable. ICI’s 2017 Annual Benefit & Auction will mark our 42-year commitment to curatorial excellence, and be an occasion to raise a glass to the organization’s future, as ICI continues to forge important international networks for curators, artists, art spaces and all practitioners in the field of contemporary art. Our Co-chairs are once more collaborating with Jung Lee and Josh Brooks, who together form FÊTE, New York’s expert event planners, in the creation of this special soirée in support of ICI. They will transform the iconic IAC Building, the first Frank Gehry project ever realized in New York City, located in the heart of Chelsea. The event will be catered by the innovative Abigail Kirsch and the online auction is powered by ARTSY.

THE LEO AWARD With the Leo Award this year, ICI recognizes Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, a steadfast advocate for artists and contemporary art in Latin America. For more than four decades, Mrs. Cisneros has fervently advanced Latin American contemporary art and scholarship. She has developed a collection of art that reflects the breadth and depth of practice from across the region. The collection has served as the inspiration and point of departure for the primary art-related program of the Fundación Cisneros, the Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros (CPPC), which makes the work available to curators and scholars internationally. With an extensive vision, Mrs. Cisneros has also endowed multiple institutional positions, allowing artists and curators to further their investigations into Latin America’s contributions to the arts; and supported numerous publications and travel scholarships. ICI and CPPC have worked together since 2012 to enhance international curatorial scholarship with joint initiatives such as the CPPC Travel and Research Award for Central America and the Caribbean. She is a Trustee of MoMA, where she founded the Latin American and Caribbean Fund, and a founding Trustee of the Fundación Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid. THE AGNES GUND CURATORIAL AWARD ICI is proud to honor Jochen Volz with the 2017 “Aggie Award.” Established for and named after Agnes Gund for her long-standing dedication to ICI and support for the work of curators, the Award is presented every other year to an established curator for their outstanding contribution to the world of art. Recently named Director of Pinacoteca de São Paulo, one of the most important art spaces in Brazil, Mr. Volz has spent most of the last two decades between Europe and South America, working with institutions as unique and varied as Instituto Inhotim and the Serpentine Galleries. He has worked internationally on several biennial projects, often championing artists over the long-term. Last year, he was the curator of the 32nd São Paulo Bienal, Live Uncertainty, during a time of rapid and constant social and political changes both in Brazil and across the world. His curatorial vision remained reflexive amid the changes, with the careful consideration and embrace of concepts of ambiguity and disorder in the visual arts as well as other disciplines in science and the humanities.
