Christie’s and amfAR continue partnership
to raise critical funds for COVID-19 research

Following the success of last year’s partnership, Christie’s and amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, are delighted to announce From the Studio: Part Two, an initiative dedicated to raising critical funds for COVID-19 research through a selection of works to be offered in the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale on 2 July at Christie’s London.

From the Studio will present contemporary artworks that have been generously donated, including new works never before seen by the public, which have been sourced with the help of Michael Nevin, director of The Journal Gallery. Proceeds from the sale will benefit amfAR and its research efforts to develop effective treatments for the coronavirus.

The selection will be sold during Christie’s international 20/21 Sale Week, which will bring together Impressionist, Modern, Post-War and Contemporary art from around the world, at Christie’s headquarters in London.
