SILENT AUCTION TO BENEFIT TARA SUBKOFF

WHEN: 5-10PM WEDNESDAY JULY 15TH

WHERE: DEITCH PROJECTS (GRAND ST) IN NEW YORK CITY
COCKTAILS - RACHEL CHANDLER AND PAUL SEVIGNY TO DJ

WHY: We are very sorry to say that our great friend Tara Subkoff has been diagnosed with a form of brain tumor known as an acoustic neuroma. While benign, it will be fatal to her in approximately two years if not operated on. Recuperation from the necessary operation may take as long as a year. During this time it will not be possible for her to work. We are writing in the hope that all of you can help.
The operation should take place in August if Tara is to avoid deterioration in her mobility and hearing, possible facial palsy and other symptoms. The tumor has exceeded three centimeters, which places extreme urgency on removal and rules out radiation and less invasive methods of treatment. There are eleven specialists involved, due to the extremely delicate area around the tumor. All proceeds from the benefit would go towards covering the remainder of the costs of the operation, and possibly to the care that will be needed afterwards.
Jeffery Deitch has kindly offered his Grand Street space for a benefit on July 15th. We want to put together a really terrific array of artworks for a silent auction. Tara is donating her collection of 200 pieces of Imitation of Christ couture, also to be in the auction.

OH NO!!

I am completely devastated to learn that Lacroix filed for bankruptcy and just barley pulled off his Fall '09 runway show.
