The cancer centre art hoardings on display
The artworks that were auctioned on the 30th June were commissioned by UCLH Arts to decorate the external hoardings around the perimeters of the construction site whilst the cancer centre was being built and will form part of the centre’s permanent art collection, benefiting not only the patients but also all of those visiting the centre and the staff who work there.
Richard Murley, Chairman of the Trust, David Wherrett, Workforce Director and Mark Pemberton, Clinical Director of Cancer Services, were all present at the auction and bid successfully for prints.
The sixteen prints were auctioned for £5,050 on the night, of which £3,622 will be donated to the UCLH Charitable Foundation’s cancer centre appeal which is aiming to raise £30 million towards the £100 million cost of the development.
Guy continued: “I’d like to thank everyone involved in this project, particularly the artists for donating their time and their expertise to this project and to the staff who supported us by buying the prints.”
