Millions of children worldwide still suffer from hunger, disease and exploitation. “With ‘A Place for Children’ we want to draw attention to the still missing children’s rights,” explains Heribert Klein from the German Unicef Committee the beneficiary art auction.
So far, more than 25 artists worldwide have contributed with an individually designed oak seat for Children, including well-known figures such as Oscar Oiwa (USA) or David Gerstein (Israel). And also Monaco is proud to participate in this charity event with a big heart painted ‘place for children’ by the Dutch-Belgium artist Dave van Dorst, which artworks are also decorating the Princess Grace hospital in Monaco.
From Monaco with love. This chair is an individual piece of art for Unicef by Dave van Dorst.
“From heart to the hearts. I want my paintings to spread love and remind us of what we really need in life,” describes van Dorst the motivation for his heartful paintings, that are known to be very colourful, sparkling and almost just as magic as love itself. All donated art works will be 100% auctioned in Düsseldorf, Germany to the benefit for Unicef.
