The Photo Review Benefit Auction Date Change
The Photo Review Benefit Auction has been rescheduled for November
21, 2009 at 7 p.m. at the University of the Arts, Dorrance-Hamilton
Building, Broad and Pine Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The event has been rescheduled due to a medical emergency. In
October, Stephen Perloff, editor of The Photo Review, suffered a
heart attack that will keep him out of commission for several weeks.
Since Mr. Perloff cannot be present, Jeffrey Fuller of Fuller’s Fine
Art Auctions will act as guest auctioneer for the evening. The Photo
Review Editorial Assistant Naomi Mindlin will coordinate the event.
The Photo Review Benefit Auction is now online at http://
www.photoreview.org/auction.htm. You can preview the work and submit
