WE THE PEOPLE (EXPERIENCE LIFE), 2007 Inkjet ultrachrome archival print 111.8 x 127 cm by Ester Partegas
Credit Suisse in conjunction with Phillips De Pury are holding a charity auction to benefit Room to Read who raise funds educate children in the developing world who otherwise wouldn’t have access to education. The works available for auction have been touring as an exhibition where people have had the opportunity to put in silent bids. Bids can also be made in person by paddle during the auction, in writing prior to the sale, by telephone and over the internet through Art & Entrepreneurship’s online bidding facility. The final auction takes place in London with auctioneer Simon de Pury on November 24, 2008. The auction’s revenue will be split between the artists and Room to Read, a charity which partners with local communities throughout the developing world to build schools, establish libaries and computer labs, publish local language children’s books and fund long-term scholarships for underprivileged young girls. The silent bids will be recognized at this auction. 50 percent of the proceeds will go to the artists; the other half to “Room to Read”
