Grenfell art auction raises £1.9m
An auction for survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire has raised £1.9m at Sotheby’s in London.
The total selling price of the 31 lots – all donated by artists including Antony Gormley and Tracey Emin – was about twice the estimate.
Sotheby’s says the proceeds will be distributed to Grenfell families by North Kensington-based charity the Rugby Portobello Trust.
