A portrait of Barcelona/Argentina football star, Lionel Messi has just been sold for £317,000/$556,000. The illustration by Damien Hirst was sold at a charity auction in London yesterday together with some other paintings/works.
The $4 million raised at the event will be invested in 1 in 11, a UNICEF campaign launched earlier this year by Messi and Serena Williams to increase educational opportunities for children in Bangladesh, Indonesia and Nepal.
