Goldsmiths’ illustrious alumni including Antony Gormley, Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas, Julian Opie, Sam Taylor-Johnson and Steve McQueen have donated works to a special Christie’s auction in aid of raising money to build a new gallery at Goldsmiths, University of London, a leading centre for teaching and research in the visual arts in the UK.
During the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale on 12th February 2015, Christie’s will offer works including Damien Hirst’s Ipratropium Bromide (estimate: £250,000 – £350,000), Sarah Lucas’ Nahuiolin (estimate: £120,000 – £180,000) and Antony Gormley’s Another Time XX (estimate: £120,000 – £180,000) in support of the £2.8 million needed to build The Gallery at Goldsmiths, all of which will be funded by external donations.
