How to you send celebrities like Alan Cumming, Julianne Moore and Padma Lakshmi to Hell? Invite them to Sotheby's auction house for a private viewing of their new exhibit and auction, The Divine Comedy.
This is a rare tongue-in-cheek event for the famed, often stuffy auction house. It was inspired by Dante's vision of Inferno, Purgatory and Paradise. The exhibits range from classic August Rodin sculpture, a variation of a Bosch triptych to contemporary art like Damien Hirst, Andy Warhol and Cindy Sherman.
If you don't have the thousands (or hundreds of thousands) in dollars to purchase these pieces, you can buy the illustrated catalog instead. Click here for more information or view the exhibit until October 19th.
