About Our Auction

In addition to art donated by friends of the Gibbes, this auction features original prints from Charleston’s Print Studio South, where a collective of artist members during the 1990s created in print mediums including silkscreen, relief print, monoprint, intaglio, lithograph, and photography. The Gibbes was the recipient of a collection of these prints at the close of the studio, which have been preserved for decades, with many of the artists in the meantime rising to regional prominence. Herein, you will find a beautiful, curated collection of original prints, created by South Carolina artists, along with a choice selection of original art given by our generous donors. Happy bidding!


About Society 1858

In 2014, Society 1858, an auxiliary group of the Gibbes Museum of Art, established the 1858 Prize for Contemporary Southern Art, which awards $10,000 to an artist whose work contributes to a new understanding of art in the South. Presented annually, the prize recognizes the highest level of artistic achievement in any media. Visit https://www.gibbesmuseum.org/1858-prize/ to learn more.

Society 1858 has raised over $230,000 through educational programs and events supported by extensive marketing, public relations, and social media campaigns.
