Artists donate works to support women's prisoner magazine
"We're completely overwhelmed by the artists' generosity. The pictures are beautiful - they've given us really important, lovely and thoughtful works that haven't just been lying around
The pieces are very relevant to what we do and what The View is about. They've given The View hope for us to continue."
The auction was curated by Fru Tholstrup and Jane Neal, who previously curated art for the Hotel de Crillon in Paris.
Andrea Hadley Johnson, wrote the monograph for the auction's catalogue.
The artists involved in the online auction were: Johan Andersson, Richard Spare, Jake Tilson, Anish Kapoor, Stuart Semple, Frances Aviva Blane, Julie Brook, Nasser Azam, Sarah Maple, Maryam Hashemi, Carolina Mazzolari, Hipkiss, Lily Lewis, Erika Flowers, Farah Damji, Nubiarte, Elton Lovell, Gary Mansfield, Libby Simpson, Carolina Mazzolari and Rachel Ara.
The online auction raised over £20 000 including unexpected match-funding from Teachable, for an item won by one of their employees. Thank you to all the artists, curators and the collectors. The summer issue is made possible thanks their generosity.
