Sadly, this is not surprising… First they f*** the country up, then use the period of anarchy to plunder valuables and dump nuclear waste, only to …

Chancy Art For A Good Cause

by Nanette

From the BBC

Postcards designed by some of the world’s best known artists and designers are to go on sale later at London’s Royal College of Art.

In total 2,700 postcards - some by established artists, others by students - will go on sale, each for £40, at the annual Secret Postcard Sale.

But the identity of the artist is only revealed once the artwork is bought.

[...]

The event raises money for the RCA’s Fine Art Student Award Fund.

Professor Glynn Williams, head of fine art at the RCA, said: "We are incredibly pleased with this year’s postcards donated by some of the world’s leading artists and designers.

"RCA Secret is about securing the future of the next generation of artists and when the public buy postcards at the event they are helping to make this possible.

"It’s one of the most democratic art sales in the world - everyone has an equal chance of getting a big name."

[A very successful strategy, it appears:]

The Royal College of Art’s Secret postcard sale has sold more postcards in the first six hours than during the whole of last year’s sale.
