2010 sculpture on charity auction
A sculpture, Celebrate FIFA World Cup 2010, has gone on auction through bidorbuy to raise funds for the South African Institute for Traumatic Stress. The metal sculpture features a football boot, a ball, referee's whistle and - of course - a vuvuzela. The final piece measures 200 x 150 x 75 centimetres and weighs 80 kilograms.
Marius Page designed the sculpture with Patrick Gamedala, Shadrack Ncugutu and Moses Seretlo, who were involved in the creation of this work of art. The auction runs until 3 July 2010 and the starting bid is R35000. It can be viewed at the OR Tambo International Airport Voyager Lifetime/Platinum check-in counter.
The auction site will contribute to the charity by waiving its usual commission, which can be between 2-5% of the selling price. To make it easier for prospective bidders, a permanent link called Charity Auction: 2010 Art is on the top left hand side of the home page.
