Artists for Biden is an online-only sale, happening through October 8, hosted by David Zwirner Gallery’s Platform online consortium, to benefit the Biden Victory Fund — a fundraising initiative to mobilize essential resources to help Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats nationwide to win the 2020 elections. The sale brings together artwork donated by more than one hundred leading modern and contemporary artists and includes featured works by Cindy Sherman, Cecily Brown, rafa esparza, Jenny Holzer, Ed Ruscha, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Shepard Fairey, Marilyn Minter, Tavares Strachan, Carrie Mae Weems, and many others.
This joint fundraising effort by the Biden campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and forty-seven state Democratic parties has been organized in partnership with national and global art communities, including artists, gallerists, art collectors, and industry professionals who share Biden’s vision for America and want to help galvanize widespread support and participation. One hundred percent of proceeds will be used to support Democrats in the lead up to Election Day, and a great many of the works have already sold at A-list prices.
