eBay Hosted a Charity Auction for Us

After we launched a pool float with our friend Cindy Sherman, eBay for Charity offered contemporary art collectors a chance to own the only signed pool float from the open edition design. 100% of the proceeds from the auction benefited + POOL. 🙂

The auction was live on the site from July 19 – 29 and the lucky winner received a package deal including the float, an engraved personalized + POOL tile that will be installed at the pool when it is built, as well as a commemorative tile as a keepsake, a Cindy Sherman-inspired canvas tote designed by Virgil Abloh, bearing a quote from Sherman, ““I’d rather be swimming” and a black and white photo of the artist swimming; and a “First Dip” pass tot he pool when it opens.  

“The only signed Cindy Sherman pool float is a sought-after collectible on eBay for Charity, offering our 171 million active buyers a chance to own a signed work by a recognized artist and benefit + POOL,” said Sam Bright, Senior Director of Art & Collectibles at eBay. 

Looking forward to seeing what else we might be able to do with eBay soon!
