The Auction

Bidding is now open: find out how to bid >>

The Art Auction itself will take place at the wonderful Drapers’ Hall on 15th September 2009. Located in the heart of the city, and with its rich history and splendour, the venue will make a stunning backdrop to the wonderful display of leading contempory art.

A selection of the pieces will go under the hammer in a live auction. With Jeffrey Archer as our auctioneer bidding is certain to be both entertaining and exciting. Jeffrey conducts around 30 charity auctions a year, and has raised more than ten million pounds in the last ten years for a wide range of charities that include The Red Cross, The British Forces Foundation, The Prince’s Trust, Unicef and The Make A Wish Foundation. The rest of the work will be sold through a silent auction.
