From March 26th to April 16th, renowned artist, eco-activist, and philanthropist Natalia Kapchuk donated the art piece entitled “Sad Bulldog” (2019) to The Auction 2024, a charitable initiative orchestrated by Terrence Higgins Trust in collaboration with The Auction Collective.
This distinguished event took place on April 15th within the esteemed confines of Christie’s Auction House. “Sad Bulldog,” characterized by its vibrant hues and intricate mixed media execution, emerged from Kapchuk’s artistic endeavors in 2019, during a period of methodological exploration aimed at defining her distinctive artistic voice. Additionally, “Sad Bulldog” (2019) was prominently featured as lot number 49 in a timed auction, accessible until April 16th via The Auction Collective’s online platform. Ultimately, the artwork was sold, with all proceeds channeled towards advancing the noble initiatives of the Terrence Higgins Trust.
