Madonna’s books auctioned in Portugal in aid of ”Acreditar”

A selection of different children’s books by Madonna in their Portuguese edition and signed by the author, will be auctioned today, December 7, 2006 between 11,30 am and 2 pm, at the Amoreiras Centre in Lisbon, in aid of “Acreditar” – an Association based in Lisbon which supports children suffering from cancer and their families.

As well as the books (10 in total), 7 very large posters and 3 large, full size, cut-out figures reproduced from Madonna’s fifth book “Lotsa de Casha” with illustrations by Rui Paes, will also be auctioned.

Each of the 7 posters consist of a large, full size, image of “Lotsa” sporting a plumed hat and carrying toys, and the 3 cut-out figures are “Lotsa” (pictured below), “The wise Old Man” and “Sun and clouds“.

These posters and cut-out figures were used during Rui Paes‘ exhibition of the original watercolours for Madonna’s book “Lotsa de Casha”, which took place last October, at Teatro Sao Carlos, in Lisbon.

Absentee bids will be accepted until the 6th of December by 12:00 noon.
These can be made over the Telephone, by Fax or via Email.
