In 2026, a major highlight of the auction was a piece from Raqib Shaw, born in Kolkata and moved to London in 1988 to study at Central Saint Martins.

He has held solo shows at prestigious institutions including the Tate Britain and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Prints by artist Raqib Shaw are also available to purchase online offering collectors a unique opportunity to acquire works from this renowned artist while supporting a vital cause.

The funds raised from the auction will directly support Terrence Higgins Trust’s mission to end new HIV cases in the UK, provide crucial support services for people living with HIV, and combat stigma surrounding HIV.

Art has the power to spark conversations, challenge stigma, and change lives. The generosity of the artists, collectors, and supporters who come together for this auction each year is nothing short of incredible. The funds raised help Terrence Higgins Trust continue their life-changing work to ensure no one living with HIV is left behind and drive towards a future where we have ended new cases of HIV in the UK.
