FROM BRIAN ENO TO SIR ANTONY GORMLEY, ARTISTS UNITE FOR HEALTH WORKERS 4 PALESTINE ART AUCTION

The auction will be held at a gala at The Savoy hotel, London (February 1 2026), and will raise funds for Gaza medics, mobile clinics, and rebuilding maternity wards in Palestine

Health Workers 4 Palestine has announced the artist line-up for its upcoming art auction. Titled Seeds Of Solidarity, the auction, which will be held at the organisation's Seeds Of Solidarity Gala at The Savoy, London, on February 1, 2026, will raise funds for the Gaza medics' Solidarity Fund.

Those contributing works include music icon and visual artist Brian Eno, who is donating his piece Seeing Through To Sky. Eno has been using art for social change for numerous years, including in his collaborative exhibition with David Bowie in 1994 for War Child.

Turner Prize-winning British sculptor Sir Antony Gormley, known for pieces such as Angel Of The North in Gateshead and public installations around the world, will also provide work for the auction, among a group of almost twenty contributing artists, including Mona Hatoum, Lisa Brice, Hassan Hajjaj, Caroline Walker, Alison Wilding, Sam Durant, and Rana Begum.

Health Workers 4 Palestine is an organisation of medical professionals that spans more than seventy cities worldwide, advocating for the protection of Palestinian health care.

The auction "is about turning culture into action. As healthcare workers in Gaza continue to work under unimaginable conditions, this art auction brings together artists, collectors and communities in a shared act of conscience - with leading creatives donating their work as part of a wider movement of solidarity," Health Workers 4 Palestine founder Dr Omar Abdel-Mannan tells Wallpaper*.

He concludes: "Every piece sold is more than an artwork; it is a statement of support for those saving lives against the odds, and a reminder that culture can be a powerful force for justice, dignity and hope."

Seeds Of Solidarity is curated by Zayna Al-Saleh, British-Palestinian art curator who is also behind the Voices Of Palestine auctions, which raised more than $1.4 million between 2024 and 2025. Al-Saleh says: "Art carries truth across borders when politics fails. This auction harnesses the power of creativity to stand for Palestinian dignity and survival."

The fundraiser comes as more than 1,700 health workers have been killed in Gaza, while thirty-seven humanitarian aid groups, including Oxfam and Save The Children, are blocked from entering. The Solidarity Fund has been co-designed with Gaza medics, and will pay stipends to doctors, while also funding mobile clinics, and rebuilding maternity wards.

Health Workers 4 Palestine's Seeds Of Solidarity Gala & Auction takes place on Sunday, February 1, 2026, 5pm, at The Savoy, London. Tickets and further information are available via healthworkers4palestine.com
