Auction opens for Guggenheim's New Year's Eve bed
 So maybe you’re looking for something a little special to wrap up the year?
Spending the night in bed in a Guggenheim Museum exhibit? So 2008, baby.
What you need is the bed in the Guggenheim on New Year’s Eve, plus a private dinner party for 10 in the museum’s rotunda catered with an artisanal menu by Olivier Cheng, decorated by David Monn - and of course a live entertainment and a live feed from Times Square.
The eight guests can stay past midnight - but only two are allowed to sleepover in the Carsten Höller’s Revolving Hotel Room (2008), supported in part by Waldorf=Astoria Collection.
Though before you bid, you might want to make note that as part of “theanyspacewhatever” exhibition, the floor of the rotunda currently asks “Are We Evil.”
The New Year’s Eve package will go up for auction November 10 at the Guggenheim International Gala. But if you can’t make the gala, you can submit sealed bids now. For Gala tickets, or for information on silent or phone bid sheets by email or by fax, please contact Bronwyn Keenan at (212) 360-4255 or bkeenan@guggenheim.org or Ben Whine at (212) 423-3584 or bwhine@guggenheim.org.
The November 10 gala, which will be held on the 45th floor of 7 World Trade Center, will feature music by Brightblack Morning Light and limited-edition art object entitled “Primal Stone” by Mariko Mori will be given to all guests.
