Eva Lanska, an acclaimed artist and co-curator of L Gallery in Tel Aviv, donated one of her most captivating paintings, titled “The Stable,” to go toward charity at “The BEST Awards” annual gala dinner, held on Jan. 28 at the Four Season’s Hotel George V in Paris.
Lanska donated one of her most celebrated works to the charity auction that took place during the award ceremony.
Funds raised from the auction were donated to the Children for Peace Foundation (www.thechildrenforpeace.org), which supports children in need around the world. Lanska’s contribution reflects her commitment to artistic excellence and social responsibility, further enhancing the impact of this prestigious event.
“I’m sincerely honored to be participating in such a legendary event that has honored some of the greatest talents of the last 40 years,” she said. “Much of my creative work is focused on the theme of human rights, and I hope my contribution will be of some benefit to the Children for Peace Foundation.”
Created by global business icon Massimo Gargia, The BEST Awards annually recognizes women and men for their elegance, creativity and humanity, representing all areas of society. For more than 40 years, royals, fashion and business leaders, filmmakers and creative artists the world over have been distinguished at the annual ceremony.
Since its inception in 1976, the event has celebrated exceptional talent across various fields, including such renowned personalities as Karl Lagerfeld, Omar Sharif, Brigitte Bardot, Günter Sachs, Andy Warhol, Anouk Aimée, Roger Vadim and Princess Diane von Furstenberg, who were among the first to receive the coveted award.
