Silent Bid

Because we anticipate intense interest in acquiring these special works, and we want to ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity, there will be a sealed silent bid procedure. Each patron who has purchased a ticket to the Cocktail Reception and Fine Art Exhibition and Sale on February 2, 2008, may bid the price he or she is comfortable with on one or more of these remarkable works. Bids will remain sealed until 7 p.m. on the night of the reception, when PricewaterhouseCoopers will open the bids and announce the winners. Envelopes and bid forms are included in the Masters of the American West packets distributed at registration on the day of the event. Those who have purchased a ticket but who are not able to attend may request to have silent bid forms sent to them for mailing back to the Autry.

For any questions, please contact Special Events at 323.667.2000, ext. 317
