Get (RED) for your Valentine

• story THE FADER

V-Day conundrum: You live in New York City and want to take your boo to see Step Up 2, but it is totally sold out. What do you do with the $150,000 in your pocket? Head over to Sotheby’s for a special Valentine’s Day auction. Our friends at (RED) will be there raising money to fight AIDS in Africa by auctioning off some big-name artworks (think Ruscha, Prince, Hirst, Murakami, Pettibon, Barney, Koons, Johns, De Kooning, Ando and on and on), including this sculpture by Tim Noble and Sue Webster, which is definitely the sweetest vermin-related masterpiece we’ve seen since Ratatouille dropped on DVD.
