Andriy Danylko presented a unique lot at the world’s most famous auction, Sotheby’s, a 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, which Freddie Mercury drove until his last days.
On November 5, in London, the car will become the artist’s personal contribution to the creation of a modern rehabilitation and prosthetics center and the centerpiece of the most ambitious Sotheby’s auction in history.
According to Andriy Danylko, he once bought this iconic car to donate it to the Queen Museum or to make it part of a large exhibition in Ukraine. But now, at a difficult time for us, he decided that the silver Rolls-Royce would be an investment in the country’s future.
It is worth noting that the auction house does not take a percentage, as is usually the case, and transfers all 100% to a charitable cause – free medical care in Ukraine according to the latest medical standards for adults and children affected by the war.
The artist intends to donate the entire amount from the sale of the legendary car to the construction of a rehabilitation center in Ukraine. The first modern rehabilitation center in Ukraine, Superhumans, will start operating in early 2023. For the construction, the Superhumans team is attracting support from philanthropists around the world.
The project has already been supported by Sting and his wife Trudy, British businessman Richard Branson, First Lady Olena Zelenska, American actor Liev Schreiber, and now by the new ambassador Andriy Danylko.
