Secret exhibition is one of the UK’s most distinctive art
events. The idea is simple – invite famous artists and young art
students to submit an original piece of art with just two rules – the
art work must be completed on a postcard and it must be signed on the
reverse, keeping the artists’ identity a secret. All cards are
sold in a one-day sale, with each card costing just £40 each. Proceeds
go to the RCA Fine Art Bursary Fund.
This year's exhibition brought together the work of our own current Fine Art students, and many well known names including Grayson Perry, Anish Kapoor, Quentin Blake, Manolo Blahnik, Tracey Emin, Paula Rego, Mimmo Paladino, Yoko Ono, Olafur Eliasson and Babette Wagenvoort.
