- Works by Horst Antes, Stephan Balkenhol, Christopher Lehmpfuhl, Heinz Mack, Otto Piene, Fabrizio Plessi, Peter Schubert and Günther Uecker to be sold at auction
- Proceeds to go to aid stroke patients
Liz Mohn, President of the German Stroke Foundation, says: “For people who suffer a stroke, the basics of daily life such as speaking, walking, or just taking someone’s hand become exhausting challenges. For more than 20 years, the German Stroke Foundation has been committed to helping people affected by stroke. I am therefore absolutely delighted that so many internationally renowned artists have committed to supporting our work. ”
The art auction will take place at Bertelsmann Unter den Linden 1 in Berlin, and will be presented by Villa Grisebach auctioneers. The premium brand Sieger also provided support with the project conception and with contacts in the art world. This is by no means the first collaboration between Bertelsmann and the German Stroke Foundation: this year on 31 May, the eleventh Rosenball (Ball of Roses) will be held, a big charity gala that the media group has hosted for years to benefit the German Stroke Foundation.
A special publication (in German) featuring all the works of art was produced to accompany the auction. It can be downloaded from the German Stroke Foundation homepage (www.schlaganfall-hilfe.de).
