500 copies of the iconic hand gesture will be sold to raise money for the Lotus Foundation
Ringo Starr has confirmed he will be selling statues of his iconic peace hand gesture, to raise money for the Lotus Foundation.
Ringo will sell 250 stainless steel versions of the “peace & love” statue for £4,200, while 250 bronze pieces will also be available, costing £1,600.
According to Julien’s Auctions (who are selling the statues) “each life-sized artwork features Ringo Starr’s hand forming his iconic peace symbol, mounted upon a square black base that reads ‘Peace & Love.’ Each hand artwork is housed in a Ringo Peace & Love box and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity hand signed by Ringo Starr.
The listing goes on to describe “Starr’s iconic peace symbol” as his “signature greeting and enduring message to the world for the last five decades.”
The money raised will go towards the Lotus Foundation, which supports charitable projects aimed at helping people deal with substance abuse, domestic abuse, homelessness, cancer as well as animals in need.
