Buy art and design to support Ukraine: the sales and auctions happening now

Galvanised by the mounting human tragedy of the war in Ukraine, many in the creative world have felt compelled to offer help in the best way they know how: harnessing their resources and networks to raise money for humanitarian relief organisations by selling art, photography and design to those of us eager to buy it. Among a host of compelling initiatives, here are art and design sales and auctions happening now in aid of the Ukraine relief effort.

All prints cost £100, including delivery, and profits will be split between two charities, Choose Love and War Child, to use on programmes assisting Ukrainian families and children affected by the conflict. Production is by Theprintspace, a carbon-neutral fine art printing service.  art4ukraine.com Ooze Papers Discipline: photography Ends: 24 March 2022 Benjamin Schmuck, Fruits Here’s your chance to snap up work by photographers such as Catherine Hyland, Benjamin Schmuck, Luke & Nik (all of whom have shot for Wallpaper*) and many more. A London-based online store selling a curated collection of prints from up-and-coming and established photographers, Oozepaper is holding a print sale from which all profits will be donated to Voices of Children. This foundation is helping affected children and families from all over Ukraine, offering emergency psychological assistance, and helping in the evacuation process. Prints are priced £50.  oozepapers.com/voices-charity-sale Pictures for Purpose Discipline: photography Ends: 24 March 2022 Nadav Kander, Mont Saint-Michel, Normandy, France, 2022. © Nadav Kander Nadav Kander is just one of the artists featured in a print-sale fundraiser for Ukraine, organised by Pictures for Purpose, a platform launched in 2020 to raise awareness and funds for urgent causes through the medium of photography. Says Kander of his piece, Mont Saint-Michel, Normandy, France, 2022, ​​‘My work, in order to be successful in my eyes, needs to reveal and conceal at the same time. I put humankind at the centre of any work I produce, as well as the human conditions that are universal to us. If I don’t show people in the frame, their presence is felt. It feels as if my work is strung together by an invisible thread, as I revisit themes again and again with varying approaches. This photograph was taken in Northern France in 2002, in a marshland that floods with the tides. It looks toward Mont Saint-Michel, which you can only just see shrouded in mist.’  The sale for Ukraine is Pictures for Purpose’s third edition, and is raising funds for World Central Kitchen, which provides fresh meals to refugees as well as those who remain in the country. The platform also offers artists the option of receiving 25 per cent of the proceeds from the sale of their work – perhaps a lifeline for Ukrainian photographers, whether they have fled violence or remained. picturesforpurpose.org A Print for Ukraine Discipline: architectural photography Ends: 27 March 2022 Phillip Reed, Untitled, 2016. © Phillip Reed The Mass Collective, a group of architectural photographers mostly based in London, is holding a sale of some of its most popular – yet affordable – prints to help raise funds for those affected by the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine by supporting the British Red Cross emergency appeal. ‘What’s currently happening is a major concern for all of us, and through this initiative we want to bring together our community and charitably donate our prints to raise funds for the British Red Cross in Ukraine. We trust our photography can raise a substantial amount to contribute to all the generous donations that are currently being collected to help Ukrainians,’ the Mass Collective’s founding members said in a statement. mass-collective.com International Creatives for Ukraine, led by Marcin Rusak Discipline: photography Ends: 31 March 2022 Top row, from left: ‘Touched’ table lamp by Studio Truly Truly; ‘Osis Block Flat’ table by Llot Llov; and ‘Untitled IV’ from the series ‘Fortune Teller Told Me’ by Sonia Szóstak.
