来自瑞士的爱——艺术大师普杰援助四川灾情
由中华人民共和国文化部、瑞士驻华大使馆主办,中国对外艺术展览中心、今日美术馆承办的“普杰艺术展 08中国•北京” 已于2008年5月10日下午在今日美术馆隆重开幕。艺术家首次向中国艺术爱好者全面展示他极具创造力的铜版画及设计系列作品,艺术家在国际上的重大影响力由此转入中国。
作为展览主要赞助方之一的菲亚特集团,为本次展览捐赠新型菲亚特500一辆,普杰先生将于5月16-18日在车身进行现场绘画。原计划绘制展出后运回瑞士拍卖,所得款项捐赠瑞士慈善机构。
然而2008年5月12日,中国四川省阿坝州汶川县发生的里氏8.0级强烈地震改变了艺术家的初衷。普杰先生对灾情十分关心,决定将绘制的汽车在中国地区举办慈善义拍,并将拍得款项全部捐献地震灾区。这一想法的实现,需要拍卖机构、媒体及社会各界人士的大力响应与支持,在此诚待有意关注此事的机构或个人与我们取得联系,成此善举。
绘制完成的汽车将在今日美术馆1号馆二层展厅展出,直至2008年5月31日,欢迎社会各界人士前往观摩。
