"Lighthouse of Friedrichsort"

This year you can bid for a painting by the world famous Italian Franco Costersteig! It is definitely worth it: The proceeds go to the YACHT-Aktion Handicap.

The artist from Rome, who made the picture available for the 2007 benefit auction, has become internationally known primarily for his work for the America's Cup and the Olympic Games (YACHT 15/04). Costaber also achieved great esteem for work that has nothing to do with sport. Among other things, his work on the Holocaust hangs in the Vatican.

Up for auction this time - for example as an exclusive Christmas present - is a typical Costa, characteristically colorful and in a tidy design language, title: "Lighthouse of Friedrichsort". During a walk on the Kiel Fjord, he was so impressed by the scenario at the well-known fire that he immediately immortalized it in acrylic on canvas (40 x 30 cm).

Interested parties can examine the picture, along with four other Costas, in the Udo Lindenberg & more gallery in Hamburg (Europa-Passage, Ballindamm 40, www.galerie-europapassage.de). The branch of the gallery chain Walentowski is also donating a suitable setting for Costa's paintings.
