The Santa Monica Museum of Art's innovative Incognito benefit, now in its fifth year, challenges the instincts of seasoned art buyers while simultaneously permitting free rein to the personal tastes of amateurs. Hundreds of artists contributed works of identical dimensions (eight-by-ten inches) and price ($300) to the exhibition. The equalizing principle: their signatures are hidden on the backs of the works, and the buyer only discovers the identity of the artist after the purchase. Participants range from LA greats like Mark Bradford, Gajin Fujita, and George Herms to promising newcomers. An open bar and art scion Eddie Ruscha's turntable skills help get you in the intuitive spending groove.
