The art world cognoscenti will convene at the Home of
Rolls-Royce in Goodwood, West Sussex, for ‘Evelina Art for Allergy x
Dine on the Line’, a major philanthropic event, held on
21st September 2019, in support of allergy research at
Evelina London Children’s Hospital.
The who’s who of the art world will join prominent
philanthropists and collectors for an evening hosted on the
Rolls-Royce production line within the award-winning manufacturing
plant, designed by architect Sir Nicholas Grimshaw. An auction
featuring works by some of the world’s foremost artists will take
place on the night, conducted by the preeminent auctioneer Simon de Pury.
Acting as the centrepiece of the auction will be a magnificent
new Rolls-Royce Phantom. World-renowned artist Marc Quinn will work
with the successful bidder to create a highly personalised and
creative artwork, using Rolls-Royce Phantom as the canvas. Taking
inspiration from Quinn’s on-going series of iris paintings, named
We Share Our Chemistry with the Stars, Quinn will paint the
iris of the lucky individual (or someone of their choosing) onto
Rolls-Royce’s flagship motor car.
Other donations include works by British artists Jake &
Dinos Chapman, David Yarrow, Harland Miller and Mary McCartney.
Proceeds generated from the auction will be donated to Evelina London
to fund vital allergy research.
During the evening’s cocktail reception, the British artist
Jonathan Huxley will create a new artwork, live at the event. In
addition, the esteemed guests will preview a new work by LA-based
media artist Refik Anadol, commissioned for the Rolls-Royce Art
Programme. Anadol will present a unique work of digital art using data
sets relating to the colour of every Rolls-Royce motor car created at
the Home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood, West Sussex, over the last ten years.
Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor
Cars, commented, “The Home of Rolls-Royce will open its doors to an
all-star gathering of art world aficionados in aid of allergy research
at Evelina London Children’s Hospital. An exclusive dinner will be
held on the Rolls-Royce production line where an auction featuring
donated artworks from some of the world’s most prestigious artists
will take place.”
Commenting on the difference the generous donations will make,
Professor Gideon Lack, Evelina London, said, “‘Evelina Art for Allergy
x Dine on the Line’ will bring together art enthusiasts and
philanthropists to raise money for vital, life-changing research.
Evelina London’s allergy service is the largest of its kind in Europe,
providing specialist care to children across the country who suffer
with an allergic condition.”
He continued, “Our mission is to prevent allergies, protect
against allergies and to ultimately cure allergies in children. We are
half way there. Donations from ‘Art for Allergy’ will go a long way
and are fundamental in allowing us to further our research and
complete our mission to find a permanent cure. I would like to thank
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars for giving us a great platform to raise funds
and giving us the opportunity to highlight the importance of our research.”
