Overview
Sotheby’s is delighted to host the Human Touch exhibition, a ground-breaking collaboration between international contemporary artists and stitchers working in prisons, trained by this leading charity and social enterprise. The participating artists are: Ai Weiwei, Idris Khan, Caroline Mazzolari, Annie Morris, Cornelia Parker, Bob and Roberta Smith, Wolfgang Tillmans and Francis Upritchard - working with each artists narrative and to their precise instructions, highly skilled prisoners based around the UK have stitched the works.
If you are interested in bidding on any of these works please go to FINE CELL WORK, where all proceeds will go towards enabling prisoners across Britain to build fulfilling and crime free-lives by training them to do high-quality creative needlework, and thereby helping to foster hope, discipline and self-esteem.
Exhibition Dates:
