NEW YORK (AP) - Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and other artists and
photographers donated their works for African famine relief at a New York
auction that raised more than $400,000 U.S.
The Art Aid auction last week at the Hard Rock Cafe featured a painting by
singer Joni Mitchell that sold for $3,700, a charcoal print by Bob Dylan for
$4,200 and a photograph of Mick Jagger and Tina Turner taken in a ladies room
backstage at Philadelphia's JFK Stadium during last year's Live Aid concert for
African famine relief.
Some of the 75 donated works were done specifically for the auction. One, an
oil painting by artist Peter Max entitled I Love The World, brought $12,000.
