Very Interesting Sketchbook Being Auctioned Oct 17, 2011

I have not seen this mentioned in this forum and figure it might be of interest to a wide range of taste since a large number of well know artists are involved.

 

A one of a kind book that should fetch a healthy bid

Thanks for the link. I see that a book has been published and available on Amazon. Unfortunately, not listed on Amazon.com, just in France.

They are going to an english version and a japanese verison in the coming months.

Best of luck to all who are bidding.

The original book sold for $96,200 and the 9 signed sketchbooks brought in another $8,250. Definitely a great cause and a very cool project. Their goal was $45,000 so they easily surpassed it.

Interesting that they used a European auction house--anyone know why?
