New York/Berlin, May 27, 2022: Artnet AG, the leading platform for art market data and media, and the global marketplace for fine art, and the renowned International Fine Print Dealers Association (IFPDA) proudly present Editions for a Cause. This sale of carefully curated editions will benefit Ukraine relief initiatives led by Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) and World Central Kitchen (WCK). Prints by Carmen Herrera, Pablo Picasso, Mel Bochner, and Richard Serra, among many others, are offered during this charity auction. In line with the ethos and mission of the IFPDA, the works in this sale have been generously donated by a global community of fine print dealers, galleries and publishers.
“The art world is such a supportive and generous community and I’m glad that we can partner with the IFPDA for humanitarian relief in Ukraine. Many of the participating IFPDA members we’ve known for many years, counting them as friends and mentors, so we’re incredibly grateful that they’ve entrusted Artnet with such a meaningful and important benefit auction,” said Conner Williams, Head of Prints & Multiples at Artnet Auctions.
All IFPDA proceeds from the auction, in addition to 50% of Artnet’s buyer’s premium, will be allocated to initiatives by GEM and WCK, which are focused on providing aid to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. GEM works as a first responder for disaster relief, bridging the gap between first response and development; as well as implementing practices to ensure sustainable development. WCK is first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises.
