Four artists have auctioned their works to make the birthplace of Nina Simone a cultural venue. The house, a modest house on pillars with entrance porch and wooden plank facades, is nestled on a hill in the small town of Tryon, in a rural county of North Carolina.
The artists have gathered eleven works, including paintings by Cecily Brown or Sarah Sze, whose sale will feed the project. The auction, organized by Pace and Sotheby's, takes place online since May 12 and until Monday.
