HG Contemporary will donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each work to Models Against Addiction, founded by “Asia” Janina Dyrkacz.

“I’m excited to exhibit and collaborate with an award-winning, multi-exhibited artist like Philip, who has such a wide variety of intrinsic work,” said Hoerle-Guggenheim of Tsiaras. “He has been on the pulse of the New York art movement for decades and his show is especially notable because supporting meaningful causes is a core part of HG Contemporary’s mission.”
