Red Study (2022), a painting by Louise Bonnet, was sold recently to Lauren Taschen, an advocate for women’s rights, generating around $100,000 to benefit Planned Parenthood Los Angeles.  The donation reflects Bonnet’s desire to spark public discussion of the discomfiting topic of abortion. “I think it’s important to make public statements . . . about basic human rights,” she says. “No one wants to have an abortion—it’s a very difficult thing to live through. Not to trust women to make that choice for themselves is oppression.”
