來自瑞士的愛——藝術(shù)大師普杰援助四川災(zāi)情

　　由中華人民共和國文化部、瑞士駐華大使館主辦，中國對外藝術(shù)展覽中心、今日美術(shù)館承辦的“普杰藝術(shù)展 08中國?北京” 已于2008年5月10日下午在今日美術(shù)館隆重開幕。藝術(shù)家首次向中國藝術(shù)愛好者全面展示他極具創(chuàng)造力的銅版畫及設(shè)計系列作品，藝術(shù)家在國際上的重大影響力由此轉(zhuǎn)入中國。

　　作為展覽主要贊助方之一的菲亞特集團，為本次展覽捐贈新型菲亞特500一輛，普杰先生將于5月16-18日在車身進行現(xiàn)場繪畫。原計劃繪制展出后運回瑞士拍賣，所得款項捐贈瑞士慈善機構(gòu)。

　　然而2008年5月12日，中國四川省阿壩州汶川縣發(fā)生的里氏8.0級強烈地震改變了藝術(shù)家的初衷。普杰先生對災(zāi)情十分關(guān)心，決定將繪制的汽車在中國地區(qū)舉辦慈善義拍，并將拍得款項全部捐獻地震災(zāi)區(qū)。這一想法的實現(xiàn)，需要拍賣機構(gòu)、媒體及社會各界人士的大力響應(yīng)與支持，在此誠待有意關(guān)注此事的機構(gòu)或個人與我們?nèi)〉寐?lián)系，成此善舉。

　　繪制完成的汽車將在今日美術(shù)館1號館二層展廳展出，直至2008年5月31日，歡迎社會各界人士前往觀摩。
