NEW YORK—One lucky bidder will win a meeting with art world superstar
Jeff Koons today. The
Hereditary Disease Foundation, which supports biomedical
research in order to cure genetic illness, is auctioning a “
Jeff Koons
experience,” which includes a lunch date and tour of the artist’s New York
studio by the sculptor himself for up to four people.
Proceeds from Koons’s donation, carrying an estimated value
of 5,000, will go to the foundation, which has given over $50 million to develop
new treatments and cures for genetic diseases.
