The auction ran Feb. 4-7 at the Minden Civic Center.
Khorasani's artwork was a 30x40-inch acrylic painting,
"Spotted Horse," valued at $1,800. He's well-known for his equine
work, which has been shown in exhibits from Massachusetts to Montana to Beverly
Hills, California. His running horses have been published by multiple
publishers and are available around the world.
"We're excited about having Hooshang's work," said
Christie Ruple, co-chair of the auction at the time of the event. "We were so glad to get a phone
call that he was willing to contribute."
The 40th year for the auction sported the theme
"There's No Place Like St. Jude." Proceeds from the event, which now
top $1 million a year, benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in
Memphis, Tennessee. Other activities at the televised event included a Chili
Cook-Off, Kids Day, Run for St. Jude, live entertainment and blood drive.
