Two x Two for AIDS and ArtTwo x Two for AIDS and Art is an annual contemporary art auction held in the Richard Meier-designed Rachofsky House in Dallas, benefiting two organizations—amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research and the Dallas Museum of Art. Now in its 11th year, the event has raised over $21 million in support of amfAR’s essential AIDS research programs and for the DMA’s Contemporary Art Acquisitions Fund. The extraordinary success of the event is due to the generosity and enthusiasm of the many, artists, dealers, and community leaders and patrons—who have helped make Two x Two amfAR’s largest fundraiser in the United States and enabled the DMA to add some 70 major works of contemporary art to their permanent collection. Drawing prominent artists, art collectors and philanthropists from around the world, Two x Two for AIDS and Art has evolved into a week full of social events aimed at recognizing the progress of amfAR and engaging the arts community here in Dallas. An eagerly anticipated event that quickly sells out, the benefit features a seated dinner for 400 guests with both a live and silent auction of major works of contemporary art and unique luxury items. Renowned artists April Gornik, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, Julian Schnabel, Joel Shapiro, Cecily Brown, Tom Friedman, Elizabeth Peyton, and Jim Hodges have been honored.
