On the sidelines of the 75th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, which ended on May 28, amfAR, one of the most important American foundations for medical research against AIDS, repeated its charity gala on May 26. Here is a look at the works auctioned.
It was in the gardens of the prestigious Eden-Roc Hotel in Cap d’Antibes, not far from Cannes, that the amfAR auction took place. And the year 2022 marks a record year: the American foundation against AIDS has managed to raise 19 million dollars (17.7 million euros) during this auction. This is 10 million dollars more than last year, when the 2021 edition managed to raise 9.3 million euros.
This year, the goods of exception put to the auction were a little different. Works of art, luxury trips, fashion pieces or even privileged meetings with American celebrities were sold last Thursday evening for the benefit of AIDS research.
Like the Cannes Film Festival, amfAR got in on the current NFT trend with a surprise sale not listed in the auction catalog, which achieved the record of the evening.
