UPDATE December 13:
ABFFE
Holiday Auction Is a Success
NEW YORK, NY, December 11, 2014--The bidding was fast
and furious in the final hours of the holiday auction of children's book art
sponsored by the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression (ABFFE).
When the final gavel fell in the eBay auction yesterday, more than $14,000 had
been raised to support ABFFE's defense of the free speech rights of kids, an
increase of 40 per cent over the previous year. The auction included nearly 100
pieces by leading illustrators. The highest prices were paid for works by Jon
Muth, Jared Chapman, William Wegman, Melissa Iwai, Eric Carle, Adam Rex, LeUyen
Pham, and Leslie Patricelli. One sold for $2,750. "We are delighted by the
success of this year's holiday auction. We are so grateful to the artists who
donated and to the booksellers who helped us promote the auction," ABFFE
President Chris Finan said
The children's art auction is a
mainstay of ABFFE's fundraising for the Kids' Right to Read Project (KRRP),
which it co-sponsors with the National Coalition Against Censorship. The
auction, which is also held at the ABA Winter Institute and at BookExpo America,
will continue after ABFFE becomes the ABFE Group at ABA next year. The ABFE
Group will support KRRP as well as Banned Books Week, the national celebration
of the freedom to read.
