Could you spot a £55 David Bailey?

10 March 2015

Fancy yourself as an art expert? Then here's a challenge for you. On this page are a host of postcards from the Royal College of Art's Stewarts Law RCA Secret event, which turns 21 this year.

The annual show at the London school sees exclusive pieces by top artists displayed alongside works by students - with everything on sale for just £55. The catch? They're all displayed anonymously – so you won't know whose piece you've bought until you've paid for it.

This year a host of top curators from across the art world have each commissioned three artists to make works for the sale, whose proceeds go towards the Royal College of Art Student Award Fund.

The famous names include Bob & Roberta Smith, Maggi Hambling, Zandra Rhodes, Richard Long, Thomas Hirschhorn, Susan Hiller, Christo, David Bailey, Yinka Shonibare, Ryan Gander, Paula Rego, Nick Park, James Dyson, Norman Ackroyd, Paul Smith and Joseph Kosuth.

Our selection of images includes postcards by some of the above names - but can you guess which ones?

The Stewarts Law RCA Secret exhibition is free to view from 12-20 March at the Royal College of Art’s Dyson Building, ahead of the sale day on 21 March. All images © the artists.
