Gagosian is pleased to announce Art for a Safe and Healthy California, a benefit exhibition presented in Beverly Hills by renowned actor and activist Jane Fonda together with the gallery.
Thanks to the Campaign for a Safe and Healthy California and its partnership with the arts community, California Independent Petroleum Association announced this month that it would withdraw a referendum on California’s landmark law (SB 1137) to protect neighborhoods from toxic oil drilling from the November ballot. As a result of this early win, the Campaign has become a general-purpose committee that aims to protect frontline communities from Big Oil’s next attempts at pollution and destruction for profit. Art for a Safe and Healthy California is an exhibition designed to provide valuable support for this crucial initiative.
The highly successful benefit launched on April 9 with an extensively reported-on event at the gallery’s Beverly Hills location that raised more than $14 million for the Campaign. Gagosian is grateful to the artists who participated in the project at this critical first stage, including Ed Ruscha, Charles Gaines, Mark Grotjahn, Jonas Wood, Sarah Cain, Karon Davis, Jules de Balincourt, Olafur Eliasson, Francesca Gabbiani, Marilyn Minter, Catherine Opie, Christina Quarles, Nathaniel Mary Quinn, Kenny Scharf, and Joey Terrill. In May, a selection of works by these and other artists was auctioned at Christie’s during their marquee sale week. A second set of works—by Frank Gehry, Nan Goldin, M (aka Michael Chow), Hank Willis Thomas, and others—is now being presented for sale, also at Gagosian Beverly Hills, in an exhibition that opens on July 18 and is on view through August 30.
