The Anticthermal auction house will host a special sale this Friday: six artworks, donated by a collector, with the proceeds going to a Ludréen suffering from Charcot's disease. The beneficiary is overwhelmed. This is a story that brings together a sick person and a collector who wants to remain anonymous. On Friday, June 5, the Anticthermal auction house will organize the sale of six artworks offered by the second to help the first. This is a first, I've never seen it, says auctioneer Sylvie Teitjen, who will orchestrate the sale. It's a first article in the Est Républicain newspaper that connected the two men. Grégory Vautrin, a 46-year-old Ludréen father, suffering from Charcot's disease, talks about the online fundraising campaign he opened to collect funds. The disease requires major work to adapt his home, he cannot afford it alone. A few days later, he learns in the same newspaper that a man wanting to remain anonymous donated several of his artworks to help him collect funds. When I learned about it, I cried, says Grégory Vautrin. We are in a world that is said to be dehumanized, egotistical... I thank him immensely. It's an act of generosity, altruism. I was extremely moved. The donor also lives in Ludres, but does not want to be known. He is very impressed by what he is doing. He wants to be very discreet, summarizes Sylvie Teitjen, the auctioneer in charge of the sale. The Anticthermal auction house has chosen to open one of its most beautiful sales of the year with these six artworks. Among these six artworks, a masterpiece: a painting by the Nancéen painter Léon Voiron. We will start the sale at 2,000€, but it can go up, estimates Sylvie Teitjen. Sylvie Teitjen obtained from the generous donor that he would come to deliver the check himself, with the proceeds of the six artworks. Grégory Vautrin hopes to be able to offer him a coffee, hug him and tell him, perhaps, what the amount he has collected will be used for. One of the objectives of the fundraising campaign is to buy a vehicle in which I can ride with my wheelchair to continue accompanying my children in activities. It's vital for me, from a psychological point of view.
