The MOBA Rejection Collection Auction

AUCTION PREVIEW

Here are many of the items that will be auctioned on April 23 at the MOBA Rejection Collection Auction. Notice that many items show approximate dimensions, in inches. Click on the image to see a larger version.

Each item in this auction is accompanied by a certificate attesting that the piece was rejected by the Museum of Bad Art. These ready-to-frame certificates are signed by Parker McGurl, MOBA's *Special* Assistant to the Executive Director.

CAN'T GET TO DEDHAM?

If you have a phone number in the US or Canada, you can still participate. Tell us which pieces you're most interested in and where to call you on Monday evening, April 23 from 7:30 to 10pm (Eastern US time). When your item comes up, we'll get you on the phone and a skillful MOBA phone rep will bid for you on the auction floor. Email info@MuseumOfBadArt.org

CAUTION: We haven't tried this before. If we get more bid requests than we can handle, we'll take them on a first-come, first-serve basis.

If you're outside the US and Canada, we may be able to work something out. We can arrange a pre-authorization and a MOBA volunteer will represent you and bid only as much as is needed to secure your piece. For instance, you might authorize up to US$25 for a Rejection Collection piece. Your representative could find that US$17.50 was sufficient to win the bid, so that's all that would be bid on your behalf.
