One of a kind!! 1996
Sign for Children Commemorating UNICEF's 50th Anniversary
The OMAS Signs for Children series is a very limited line designed to
benefit Unicef. On October 14, 1996 Christie of London auctioned off the
24 "one of a kind " pieces in Rome, Italy. Following the
auction, the 24 pens were produced as limited edition in silver and solid
gold. In keeping with the generosity and support for which UNICEF is so
well known, a portion of the proceeds were put forth to assist with their
most financially demanding programs.
This collection, comprises of 24 pens, is born from a most unusual and
enthusiastic collaboration. Famous names have been conveyed by means of
their drawing. A personal message. Some were simple and some were rather
elaborate yet all were imbued with the artist’s personality. Respecting
each one’s individual style, as is the nature of Omas. Omas have
transcribed the essence of these drawing onto the bodies of each model
within the constraints of material limitation and construction
requirements.
