Beneath the Gavel drops the audience into the epicenter of the white-hot art market to explore the rise of branded art in the collision of High Art and High Finance. Based on stories from auction world insiders, this immersive, physical theatre piece gives the audience an unforgettable inside look at the only market - besides the stock market - to show up on the front pages of every major newspaper. (The show includes opportunities for the audience to bid on and take home real works of art. (Not a Rockefeller? Bated Breath Theatre Company will provide the money.) Beneath the Gavel first premiered in March 2016 in partnership with The New Britain Museum of American Art.
