200 artists work in solidarity at the Fondation Louis Vuitton
Blind auction to benefit Secours Populaire Français
Auditorium of the Fondation Louis Vuitton
Sunday, November 15, 2015
Exhibition from November 11 to 15, 2015
On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of Secours populaire français, and thanks to the support of LVMH, the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Millon Auction House and more than 200 contemporary art artists are mobilizing in favor of access to culture for all.to the greatest number.
From November 11 to 15, 2015, the Fondation Louis Vuitton will host the recto/verso project: a remarkable event bringing together A4-format works by 223 artists presented to the public at an exhibition, before being dispersed at auction on Sunday, November 15, under the hammer of Maitre Alexandre Millon.
For the first time in France, this auction will take place "blind", with the identity of the artists only revealed at the end of the bidding. A rare and unusual opportunity to bid, to play at recognizing artists, but also to discover new ones.
A starting price identical to all the works was set at 150 euros, before the bidding began under the gavel of Maître Alexandre Millon.
In 2015, Secours Populaire is celebrating 70 years of solidarity, with a host of initiatives to raise public awareness of the need for its actions in France, Europe and around the world. Access to culture is one of the priorities of its mission.
To mark this anniversary, Secours Populaire has decided to launch an exceptional event, inviting artists to work in solidarity with it, thereby promoting encounters between the people it supports and contemporary art, and raising funds to develop access to culture for people in difficulty.
All proceeds will be donated to the association.
