Oh yes, the first of four new Fiat 500 cars, illustrated by Tracey Emin, went under the hammer for $85,000 (£45,000) during the Contemporary Art Auction at the Phillips de Pury & Company saleroom in London. The identity of the buyer has not been released, but it is known that she comes from Switzerland.
Proceeds from the sale went to the artist’s chosen charity, PEAS, which is raising funds for a school library in Uganda. The three other 500s with Emin designs will also be offered at auction, one before the end of the year and two in 2008.
Fancy owning one yourself? Join in the next time an Emin artwork goes under the hammer!
