On Sunday, a two-page advertisement in The New York Times urged readers to support Kamala Harris for president on November 5. As a reward for this choice, the foundation is offering an artwork (if Harris wins), created by artist David Hammons, as a donation to an American museum. This action follows previous political ads by the foundation, which has traditionally opposed Republican policies.
The advertisement responds to recent political turmoil, stating that democracy and the rule of law are at risk. The foundation calls for Donald Trump to lose the election before they donate the artwork, reflecting their fear of further erosion of democratic values worldwide. The ad features a message, encouraging readers to reflect on the future of their country ahead of the upcoming elections.
Over Holland, founded by Jan Christiaan Braun, has a history of making artistic and political statements. Braun's approach has often been controversial, previously sparking significant reactions from the U.S., highlighting the division over such matters.
