Bono Art Auction Bonanza

Rock star Bono is turning again to the booming art world to help his altruistic brand, (Product) Red, raise much-needed cash and cachet, reports Kelly Crow in the Wall Street Journal. On February 14, Sotheby's Red art auction in New York will sell as much as $28 million of art donated by Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Banksy, and five dozen other top artists in a sale of a scale not usually seen in art or charity fund-raisers. This year's offerings include a nine-foot-tall medicine cabinet by Hirst estimated at up to $7 million, a red balloon-animal sculpture by Koons estimated at up to $1.2 million, and a new Jasper Johns gray watercolor estimated at up to $600,000.
