 New York/Berlin, May 27, 2022: Artnet AG, the leading platform for art market
 data and media, and the global marketplace for fine art, and the renowned
 International Fine Print Dealers Association (IFPDA) proudly present Editions
 for a Cause. This sale of carefully curated editions will benefit Ukraine

 In line with the ethos and mission of the IFPDA, the works in this sale have
 been generously donated by a global community of fine print dealers, galleries
 and publishers.

"The art world is such a supportive and generous community and I'm glad that
 we can partner with the IFPDA for humanitarian relief in Ukraine. Many of the
 participating IFPDA members we've known for many years, counting them as
 friends and mentors, so we're incredibly grateful that they've entrusted
 Artnet with such a meaningful and important benefit auction," said Conner
 Williams, Head of Prints & Multiples at Artnet Auctions.

All IFPDA proceeds from the auction, in addition to 50% of Artnet's buyer's
 premium, will be allocated to initiatives by GEM and WCK, which are focused on
 providing aid to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. GEM works as a
 first responder
