"Art is always political - at the least it is an
expression of personal freedom but if it asks
pertinent questions it can also change the way we
see and relate to others and the world. The
potential to make and experience art is a basic
human need - it should be a right."
Antony Gormley
"London is a city where the arts flourish.
Artists in all fields make a central contribution
to how we see our city and our society as a
whole, and I am delighted that so many fantastic
artists are willing to contribute in this
practical way to helping keep London on a
progressive and forward-thinking path."
Ken Livingstone
The auction is a fund-raising event to help re-elect Ken Livingstone as Mayor of London. It is also a measure of many artists support for the cultural achievements of his administration. All money raised will go towards helping Ken's bid to be re elected as Mayor.
