Pachyderm painting sells for nearly 39-thousand dollars in Thailand
BANGKOK, Thailand It's a case of elephants helping elephants in Thailand
where an abstract painting by eight pachyderms has sold for nearly
39-thousand dollars.
A news report says the proceeds will help maintain an elephant sanctuary,
said Sunday.
Wielding brushes with their trunks, the elephants painted a roughly
eight-by-26-foot canvas in five hours yesterday, with some help from their
trainers and two human artists.
The pachyderms at the camp in a northern province worked in shifts of two
and three at a time to paint. The state-run Thai News Agency reports the
work is titled, "Cold Wing, Swirling Mist, Charming Lanna 1."
The event was witnessed by a representative of the Guinness Book of
Records. Organizers claim it's "the most expensive painting by a group of
elephants." A thai national living in the United States bought it.
