Help for Japan "Secret Postcard" Art sale

We are very excited to announce:

The HELP FOR JAPAN “Secret Postcard” Art sale
presented by Francesca von Habsburg/T-B A21, Elsa König, Elsa Okazaki and Andrew Standen-Raz.

The HELP FOR JAPAN Charity Event for the Red Cross, held on April 17th, 2011 at the Pratersauna in Vienna, will be one of the largest line-up of leading musicians, artists, fashion designers & locally based businesses seen in Vienna for a long time.
The event is a natural outpouring of solidarity and assistance from Vienna’s artistic community to the victims of the catastrophic events still unfolding in Japan.

The event includes international DJs and live acts, such as Peter Kruder, Rodney Hunter, Dorian Concept, Bauchklang, Microthol and [dunkelbunt], a fashion sample sale by Wendy & Jim, Ute Ploier, Anna Aichinger, Mühlbauer and, following in the steps of the successful charity art sales held for the last 15 years at the Royal College of Art in London, HELP FOR JAPAN will also present a charity sale of original, “one-off” postcard-sized art from the following leading and emerging artists:

Each artwork has a number, everybody can buy a ‘number’ and will only then discover the identity of the artist! Each work will cost 30 € regardless whether they have been made by a famous name or an emerging artist.
The sale hopes to encourage as many people as possible to buy a card, in order to raise as much as possible for charity. 100 percent of the sale of the artworks will go to the Red Cross.
