Jeff Koons’ seminal sculpture Balloon Monkey (Magenta) (2006-13, estimate: £6,000,000-10,000,000) will be presented for sale at Christie’s by Victor and Olena Pinchuk to raise vital funds for humanitarian aid for Ukraine. In particular, the proceeds will be used to assist soldiers and civilians gravely wounded by war who urgently require prosthetics, medical treatment and rehabilitation to recover as much quality of life as possible.
On May 25, 2022 in Davos (Switzerland), the Victor Pinchuk Foundation, and international investment advisory group EastOne, hosted the Ukrainian Breakfast Discussion, their traditional private event organized on the occasion of the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF). The discussion focused on what is at stake in Ukraine, and what international partners can do to support Kyiv amidst Russia’s war in Ukraine. Where is the war going, what steps must be taken now, and what is the strategic perspective for the future of Ukraine, Europe and the world?
Today, a discussion “How to return after suffering” with Ivan Fedorov, Mayor of Melitopol, Anatolii Fedoruk, Mayor of Bucha, Vadym Boichenko, Mayor of Mariupol, Oleksiy Kuleba, Head of the Kyiv Regional State Administration, and Eugene Finkel, Associate Professor, School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University, was held in the Russian War Crimes House in Davos. Kersti Kaljulaid, President of Estonia (2016-2021), moderated the event.
