Based on an original idea by Bernard-Henri Lévy, this unprecedented initiative takes place in London on May 21-23 and June 3 2019, to coincide with the European elections. It seeks to affirm artists’ devotion to European ideals, values and culture, and to benefit European cultural initiatives.
A selection from thirty artworks donated by leading contemporary artists from all over Europe will be exhibited at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, Ely House, from 21-24 May and then auctioned for charity auction on 3 June at Hotel Café Royal, under the gavel of Simon de Pury. The funds raised will benefit European cultural projects, including Artagon and Europa Nostra.
More than thirty artists participate to this unprecedented initiative, giving important artworks - some of them especially created for the occasion: among them, Grayson Perry, Marina Abramovic, Daniel Buren, Marlene Dumas, Giuseppe Penone, Luc Tuymans, Miquel Barcelo', Sylvie Fleury, Marc Quinn and Ron Arad.
