Artistic Globe Auctions

The Conde Nast Traveler 2012 Visionaries Series is Designed by Celebrities

— September 18, 2012 — Pop Culture
The Conde Nast Traveler 2012 Visionaries Online Auction centers around traditional globes. Yet these globes are far from traditional. They have been artistically revamped by celebrities in order for them to raise money for their charity of choice. Showcasing the creativity of twelve actors, artists, models and more, this auction involves such famous names as Ai Weiwei, Hillary Clinton, Richard Branson, Michael Bloomberg and Christy Turlington Burns.

Available for bidding on CharityBuzz.com, the globes in the Conde Nast Traveler 2012 Visionaries Online Auction are estimated to be worth $1000. Nevertheless, Olivia Wilde's creation is already fetching $1850. From feathers to tape and even a message from Branson reading "2013 is the year of the Ocean. I plan to listen to it everyday. Will you join me?," the globes are striking.
