AN AUCTION AGAINST THE VIRUS

Posted by: Chiara Ferella Falda

"Beauty will save the world" wrote Dostoevskij in one of his famous novel, and never as in this moment of fear and uncertainty our eyes would like to be filled with beauty, whether it be a natural landscape, an exotic journey, a work of art…
Emotions that only partially the virtual world can evoke.

When the desire for beauty is combined with the desire to help the forces in the field that fight against the virus that has upset our lives, the marriage is perfect. As for the initiative of Blindarte, gallery and auction house based in Milan and Naples, which launched the "ART to STOP COVID-19" project, an online auction where you can buy at very attractive prices a rich selection of art works both contemporary and modern, antique paintings, art design, drawings, also photography and graphics.
All proceeds support the Lombardy region or the Pascale Institute of Naples, to be chosen by the purchaser.

Numerous lots are already online, both from prestigious international galleries, such as Galleria Lia Rumma, Galleria Continua, The Pool NYC, just to mention a few, and from artists who have donated their artwork directly.
Even Flavio Lucchini, resident artist in the MyOwnGallery art gallery of Superstudio, has donated two works, two "I’m different" Faces, prints on canvas that reproduce plaster bas-reliefs reinforced by the artist, surreal portraits of woman who claim their difference and individuality in these times of cultural and aesthetic homologation.
