Inspiring Art for Everyone

A Fundraising Auction in support of the Royal West of England Academy
9 – 22 August 2024

We are honoured to support the RWA (Royal West of England Academy) in Bristol charity online auction, available to view in the RWA's outstanding gallery space. Part or all of the proceeds from each lot sold will fund life-enhancing creative inspiration and engagement for people in the local Bristol area who otherwise would not have the opportunity to experience this.

The auction offers a unique opportunity to acquire major works by masters of modern British art, most of which have been provided directly either by the artists or their estates

Bonhams is pleased to waive all our fees, including buyer's premium. Please note that all lots are marked with 'AR' and are subject to Artist Resale Right. (If the Hammer Price is £1,000 or greater, there will be an additional 4% premium charged to the Buyer, relating to the payment of royalties under the Artist's Resale Right Regulations).

By registering, each bidder authorises the RWA to use their personal details for invoicing purposes and in accordance with the terms of their Privacy Policy and also to share their personal details with Bonhams for use in accordance with their Privacy Policy.

The RWA will be managing the invoicing, payment and collection arrangements of all artworks. Invoices will be issued by the RWA shortly after the sale closes with any added ARR premium that may apply. Swift payment and collection will be greatly appreciated. Collection of paid artwork can take place by prior arrangement from The RWA, Queens Road, Clifton, Bristol, BS8 1PX. Please note that lots 2, 3 and 14 will not be available to collect from the RWA address – see the catalogue footnotes for these lots for further details on the collection address.
