As of this writing, looking at their catalog tells us that some lovely items can be gotten for as little as 90 bucks. And if you're not in the market for an actual piece of art, what about a visit and dinner with Toychestra (be the first bidder for $250), or a customized group walking tour from Kate Pocrass (opening bid $200)?

All the proceeds from the auction will support the YBCA's programs in visual arts, performing arts, film and video, which will certainly make it a litle easier for us to write that check for Tom Marioni's installation in our very own home! Man, the cats are gonna love playing on that thing.

Temple of Geometry (1 of 3), 2004. Opening bid: 50K.
