New York City - Hosted by Nicole Miller, Margaret Russell, and Kenny Scharf and presented by Elle Decor, B&B Italia and Manhattan House, Unframed 2010 recently enjoyed its largest event to date at the iconic Manhattan House, a luxury residential condominium in Manhattan.

The 20th installment of this unique art sale offered art enthusiasts the chance to purchase signed works by various leading artists, with some pieces starting at $100. Famed artist Scharf custom-designed a Manhattan chair for B&B Italia available through auction, which was on exhibit at both the Collectors Preview and the Public Sale. All art sales benefited the AIDS Community Research Initiative of America (ACRIA).
