A great auction for Godon’s canvas representing the Enduropale 2010
T he crowd was heaving in the Bristol Hotel last Saturday evening Everyone was waiting, glass in hand, for the highlight of the evening’s events: the auction of the painting created by Alain Godon for the 2010 Enduropale. The Deputy and Mayor, Daniel Fasquelle, led the applause for the huge success of the event that was conceived out of nothing by the artist in 2009 — the Grand Prix for the artists of tomorrow. The event will in future officially be known as the Festival of Le Touquet. […] As a result of being conducted with masterly aplomb by the Montreuil auctioneer, Me Anton, the painting reached the handsome sum of €15,000 after a final closing battle between two amateur art lovers. Alain is to donate this sum to the organisation created to promote the next Festival of Le Touquet.
