Kurt Jackson Auction

09 Oct 2003

Away from Somerset, the Festival also helped WaterAid with further fundraising. In March an auction of paintings by Kurt Jackson at the Newsroom (The Guardian archive centre) raised over £20,000. Kurt (one of Britain's leading painters and official artist of the Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Arts since 1999) auctioned 16 stunning, dynamic watercolours of the Festival's main acts from the 2000 and 2002 Festivals - and donated all proceeds to WaterAid. The top seller was a painting of Coldplay, closely followed by a painting of the Glastonbury stone circle and paintings of Moby and the Dandy Warhols. A toilet seat autographed by various bands was also bought for £1000
