BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.—The Elton John AIDS Foundation will auction off a Helmut Newton photograph, a George Condo painting, a vintage Corvette from actress Sharon Stone's collection, and several other lots at an Academy Awards viewing party in West Hollywood on February 24 to help raise money for the charity, reports Bloomberg. Newton's widow, June, donated Sie Kommen, a photo of four nude women, and George Condo's The Laughing Comedian was contributed by the artist and London's Simon Lee Gallery. The art will be on view at Sotheby's Beverly Hills until the auction. Last year's party raised more than $4.3 million.
