Auction
You may have seen them on the streets of Rotterdam: 41 Heart Work Heroes statues, painted by mostly Rotterdam-based artists. These statues have enlivened the cityscape but primarily serve as 'collateral' for projects aimed at motivating young people to choose a career in healthcare.
These statues were auctioned off after the exhibition during a fully catered auction evening with entertainment. The auction was conducted by Vendu Auction House, under the notarial supervision of Ploum Notaries. The event was hosted by Joris Lutz and Jenny van As.
