Tomorrow Sat 1pm London the ICA 75th anniversary auction at Sotheby's. All works donated by the artists. Denzil Forrester Untitled, 2019 charcoal and pastel on paper Framed: 77.7 by 102cm Thank you @stephenfriedmangallery Estimate: £6,000-8,000 Marlene Dumas Sweets for my Sweet, 1998 ink and acrylic on paper framed: 135 by 79.5 cm Estimate: £100,000-150,000 Marlene Dumas, who staged a self-titled exhibition at the ICA in 1993. Speaking to the ICA, in her own words, she said: ‘The ICA is simply the best, better than all the rest! It was the most exciting place a younger me ever showed at. The talks dealt with issues that the official artworld is only waking up to now. Punk and reflective at the same time. What a history and present to cherish!’ Merlin James Truth, 2022 acrylic on canvas in artist’s frame 84.6 by 105 cm Estimate: £4,000-6,000 Cardiff-born artist Merlin James reminisces ‘I started going to the ICA as soon as I got to London at the end of the ’70s. It always felt bohemian despite, or because of, its unlikely location in the foundations of grand regency London. I remember things like the Women’s Depictions of Men exhibition and the Richter, and there was always a great film programme. Painting didn’t seem high on the agenda, but I had catalogues from earlier eras when they had shown, say, Jean Fautrier. Wolfgang Tillmans Freischwimmer 102, 2004 inkjet print on paper mounted on Dibond aluminum in artist’s frame 229.5 by 171.5 cm Edition of 1+1AP (AP) Estimate: £120,000-180,000 ‘Having been a Londoner for three decades now, I can’t think of a single year in which the ICA didn’t enrich, surprise and contribute to my understanding of art in the context of the UK and the wider world around us. It is an honour to be part of this ongoing journey in its 75th year. The ICA is needed now more than ever as an independent advocate and platform for the next generation of artists, whose work strives to answer to the pressing challenges of our time.’ @ICALondon @sothebys @bengiunsal @wolfgang_tillmans @stephenfriedmangallery @davidzwirner @maureenpaley @antonkerngallery @sikkemajenkins #MerlinJames #MarleneDumas #DenzilForrester #WolfgangTillmans #ICA
