To mark the climax of this year’s Youth Music Week, the Phillips De Pury Gallery in London auctioned 25 of the original artworks produced for the Destroy/Rankin project. First under the hammer was Mat Maitland’s’s work for Basement Jaxx which fetched the respectable sum of £800. Other key works included Damien Hirst’s ‘Joe Strummer’ and artwork by by Debbie Harry, Kylie Minogue, Mat Collishaw, Douglas Gordon and Mariianne Faithfull. The evening’s entertainment also included an exclusive performance by Jarvis Cocker and a DJ set by Lemon Jelly’s Fred Deakin. The night raised a total of £50,000 to benefit Youth Music projects. Destroy/Rankin designed by Big Active’s Gerard Saint is available from bookstores with all proceeds also going to the youth charity.
