A charity auction supporting Parkinson’s UK

Event date 14 December 2022 -
Event location London
Celebrating the unique complexity of the human brain. A group of world-class artists including Tracey Emin, David Bailey, Alex Echo, LUAP and D*Face have come together to contribute to Me, My Brain and I, a collection of brain sculptures to be auctioned off with all proceeds going to Parkinson’s UK.
In collaboration with Parkinson’s UK, and The Auction Collective, Christie’s is delighted to present this online view of the 15 works, ahead of the auction at our King Street saleroom, on 14 December 2022.
Theatrical effects artist Schoony has created life-size fabricated brain sculptures for participating artists to use as a blank canvas, as they are asked to consider what their brain means to them. Alex Echo, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in early 2020, is among the world-class artists who have designed a brain sculpture in their own distinctive style.

A note from Parkinson’s UK
‘Me, My Brain and I invites us all to consider our own brain, to visualise it as the source of all the things that make us 'us'. Our brains curate our lives, on the one hand acting as unique libraries, holding memories, experiences and skills, while on the other powering supercomputer-powered curiosity, creativity and innovation.
We're delighted to be partnering with The Auction Collective and Christie’s with what we all believe is a beautiful, thought-provoking, and moving creative experience. We're indebted to the incredibly generous artists who are making this possible with a single shared aim, to raise funds for Parkinson's research and to find a cure.’
