Famous artists donate work to 缅北禁地 auction Published on: 18 November 2024 Antony Gormley and Sean Scully are among the renowned artists who have donated to this year鈥檚 缅北禁地 Fine Art Postcard Auction. Annual event The annual event raises money for the Fine Art Degree off-site show, where final year students display their work in London at the end of their degree. Antony Gormley, the sculptor behind the iconic Angel of the North and CLASP, which is located on the University’s campus, has donated the print Domain, which was originally produced alongside Gormley’s exhibition at the Baltic in 2003. The print shows a collection of fragments: evoking the relationship between the space and the human body. Fine Art alumnus Sean Scully’s work is held in museum collections across the globe. The Royal Academy artist has donated White Rose, a print made to honour the student-led White Rose resistance movement against Hitler in 1942 in Munich’s university.

Staff, many of whom are well-known artists in their own right, are donating artworks too. There will be around 40 lots up for grabs on the night. Organiser Max Bryg said: “The Fine Art Auction is one of the highlights of the Art Department’s calendar. It has been a real privilege to organise it. The event celebrates the relationship between established and emerging artists, which we feel is more crucial than ever considering ongoing budget cuts to the Arts and Culture sector. “This event is an opportunity to not only鈥痵tart your collection with a renowned artist's work at an affordable price but also support and invest in the next generation of up-and-coming artists. As part of our ethos in supporting the local creative scene, local businesses also play a role in our night; involving Northeast auctioneer, Ronnie Pygall, to lead our live auction, and hosting the afterparty at The Lubberfiend, which will showcase DJs regular to Ernest, Tokyo and Slack’s Radio. The event is open to everyone, all you need to do is come along or bid online.” The Fine Art Postcard Auction takes place on Friday 22 November. A silent auction will take place in the King Edward VII Building from 5pm to 7.30pm and the live auction will take place from 7.30pm to 9pm in the Lindisfarne |Room, Hadrian Building.
