NEW YORK (AP) — A new philanthropy created to raise money for humanitarian causes has enlisted Jeff Koons to create new works to raise money for the United Nations Foundation.
Project Perpetual says Koons’ works will be auctioned at a Four Seasons restaurant event in New York on Nov. 9.
They’ll include a large plaster sculpture that will incorporate luxury handbags provided by notable people including Marc Jacobs and Sofia Coppola.
The artwork will support the foundation’s Shot@Life campaign, which provides life-saving vaccines to children worldwide.
The philanthropy will partner with a different contemporary artist each year.
