Drawing Biennial 2015 Launches Fundraising Auction with Over 200 Works on Paper

The Drawing Biennial 2015, organized by the non-profit Drawing Room, serves as a fundraising exhibition and silent auction featuring over 200 original A4 drawings contributed by various artists. Each piece is priced starting at £250, with all proceeds directed towards Drawing Room's initiatives for the upcoming two years. Notable contributions come from both established and emerging talents, including Anish Kapoor, Tracey Emin, Martin Creed, and Laure Prouvost. Curated by directors Mary Doyle, Kate Macfarlane, and Katharine Stout, alongside an international panel of artists and curators, the artworks are displayed at the gallery and available for online bidding until 30 April. Participants such as Cornelia Parker and Thomas Hirschhorn also contribute, with the online platform allowing artwork viewing and auction catalogue orders. This edition upholds the biennial's commitment to supporting artistic endeavors through direct sales.
