All of the artworks will go on public display in the ICA’s Lower Galleries on The Mall, London, from 11 September - 5 October, presenting a rare gathering of some of the key figures who have helped to shape contemporary art in Britain and beyond.
Subsequently, the works will also be on display at an auction preview at Sotheby’s, New Bond Street, from the 12 - 17 October. The proceeds will help establish a commissioning fund for emerging artists, and provide vital resources for an ambitious new education programme.
