#RADArt4Aid bidding is officially OPEN! Join us in supporting critical COVID-19 relief for various charities on the frontlines of national and international relief: from food banks to PPE equipment, women's shelters to veterans, suicide prevention to the elderly. 100% of sales proceeds will go directly to charity!⁠ Bidding now open through June 12th Hit the link in bio to bid at @christiesinc or head to our IG Stories to donate to @newyorkcares today. Every dollar counts! I am supporting @newyorkcares. What they do: In the days before New York Cares, volunteering was unnecessarily complicated. The organization's founders believed that individuals could make a real difference in improving NYC by having the necessary tools. New York Cares has infused volunteerism with business acumen to enable anyone who volunteers through their programs to have an impact on New York City.⁠ That's why they're the City's go-to and mobilize 52,000 volunteers to mentor students, serve meals in soup kitchens, clean up parks, help the homeless get back on their feet, and dozens of other selfless acts.⁠ Why we love New York Cares: New York Cares provides a smarter way to volunteer and, in so doing, has a huge impact on our beloved city of New York. ⁠New York Cares partners with 1350 schools and non-profits across NYC⁠. Their staff plan and manage 1600 volunteer-led projects every MONTH⁠. Volunteers served 400,000 New Yorkers in need last year, and the portraits that will benefit New York Cares are @oprah, @officialkeef, #JohnLeeHooker, and #MikhailBaryshnikov.

Nadmetanje za radove nastale u proteklih tridesetak godina odvijat će se na internetskoj stranici Christie'sa uz niz videa koji pojašnjavaju priče iza ponuđenih fotografija, objavljenih na naslovnicama časopisa Vanity Fair i Rolling Stone.

Prikupljena sredstva bit će uplaćena na račune raznih zaklada za pomoć osobama koje su zbog koronavirusa ostale bez posla, doma ili bez zdravlja.

- Svoju karijeru izgradio sam na međusobnom povezivanju i razumijevanju ljudi i na njihovim osobnim pričama te sam ih želio predstaviti na autentičan i u nekim slučajevima pomalo fantastičan način - stoji u Seligerovu priopćenju.
