Hole in the Wall Charity Auction
The centerpiece for the annual Gala Charity Auction for Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang Camp was donated by International Poster Gallery -- the spectacular 1966 Italian poster for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by leading posterist Nano. Signed by both Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor, the poster commanded a winning bid of $40,000, enough to send 16 children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases to the camp for a summer!
