David Furnish and Elton John will host the Grey Goose Winter Ball
5 April 2012

Celebrated Young British Artist Marc Quinn has agreed to paint a bespoke piece of artwork for one lucky bidder at the Grey Goose Winter Ball auction on Saturday October 29.

This will be one of many fantastic lots auctioned at a night of exquisite cuisine and designer cocktails, with a glittering guest list, in Battersea Park.

To complement the prize, the reception will also be decorated with one hundred prints of works from Quinn's original Iris exhibition. Each of these will hang in a frame hand-painted by the artist and be available to buy on the evening for £1,000 with all proceeds benefitting the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

It is "amazing as an artist to be able to give something back, " said Quinn, who has previously donated works of art to the Elton John AIDS Foundation White Tie & Tiara Summer Ball.

He has been heavily involved with the concept for the Architecture of Taste themed evening, from the design of the décor to the creation of one of the Grey Goose cocktails.

Tickets are available to purchase by contacting the Elton John AIDS Foundation on 020 7603 9996. 100% of the ticket price is donated directly to the charity.
