In a remarkable show of solidarity for children's rights, a captivating art project called "A Place for Every Child" is making waves across the world. Organised by Heribert Klein, a long-time supporter of Unicef and a member of the German Committee for Unicef, the project features 18 unique art stools adorned with painterly designs.
The artists participating in this project hail from various parts of the globe. Oscar Oiwa from America, David Gerstein from Israel, and Miki Terao from Düsseldorf are among those who have lent their creative talents to this cause.
The art pieces created for "A Place for Every Child" can be found at the entrances of around 4000 art museums and galleries in German and international cities. However, the postage costs for sending these stools around the world were high, according to Klein.
The project's first presentation will take place in Düsseldorf in October. Thomas Baumgärtel, a globally operating graffiti artist known for his banana logo, is working on the 18th and final art piece for the project. Baumgärtel's banana logo symbolizes the freedom of art and allows for subversive humor in public space.
Baumgärtel became involved in the project due to his focus on children's concerns, as he became a father later in life. His contribution to "A Place for Every Child" reflects his commitment to children's rights, which have not been enshrined in the Basic Law.
The stools have been adorned with various painterly designs, including Sylt allusions, "Hundertwasser" motifs, and abstract patterns. Klein commissioned a local turner in Krefeld to produce these unique stools.
After the presentation in Düsseldorf, the art stools will embark on a tour. After the tour, they will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. The proceeds from the auction will go towards supporting Unicef's efforts to promote children's rights and well-being.
Klein has been involved in several successful campaigns for children's causes, such as "A Heart for Unicef" and the "Small Coins - Big Help" project. The latter collected around 1.4 million euros from expiring foreign currencies.
Klein's motto for the project remains: "No child left behind." This project is a testament to his unwavering commitment to ensuring a brighter future for children everywhere.
