4th edition of the Penny Pinch Auction

Friday, Mar 27, 2026 12:00 PM – 10:00 PM
673 N. Milwaukee Ave., Chicago, IL 60642

The launch of our 4th edition of the Penny Pinch Auction will take place on Friday, March 27. The gallery will be open late, until 10PM

Penny Pinch is an anti-capitalist artist whose practice is rooted in the use of found objects.

Preview and early viewings of the auction will begin as early as Thursday.

As in years past, prices will drop by $100 every hour until each work is sold. 

This year's auction will feature 40+ works, along with a selection of fixed-price chairs. 

This will be our final year hosting the Dutch Auction format. That said, Penny Pinch and VSG remain committed to collaborating in ways that challenge and reimagine the economics of art—and who knows, maybe we'll bring it back.
