Stemming from the Bono inspired (RED) movement - raising awareness and hard cash to help combat HIV/AIDS, this auction is being held in NY at Sothebys and proceeds will go to the United Nations Foundation to support HIV/AIDS relief programs in Africa.....information and links about the auction, about (RED) and about The Global Fund can be found
HERE.....
I only came across this because of one of the works in the auction....by a certain Mr Banksy....I kinda went off his stuff when it all became a bit samey and tired and lost it's political edge, but, I do rather like this piece for which he
butchered adapted a Damien Hirst dot painting....
....not particularly new tho....I'm sure I saw that stencil around Bristol at least 8yrs ago, maybe longer :whistle:
...a couple of others in the auction that caught my eye.....
Carsten Holler - Hippopotamus
Tom Friedman - Packing Peanuts Figure
....plenty of others too so just go visit the link and have a poke about innit
