Celebrated artists and photographers including Rankin, Grayson Perry, Sir Anthony Gormley and Mark Wallinger have donated works to be sold to support a charity helping seriously ill young adults.

The Extraordinary Collection will be showcased to the public at Coutts bank for five days before being auctioned in aid of Willow, which was founded by former Arsenal goalkeeper Bob Wilson.

Rankin submitted a brightly-coloured work of a model with a stuffed parrot, with Sir Anthony donating a beige figure work.

Proceeds will go to Willow, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year after providing almost 17,000 special days out to sick people in the past two decades.

Rankin told the Standard: “The concept of Willow is fantastic. And it is always good to be in good company of award-winning artists donating works for such a great cause.”

Wilson said: “We anticipate The Extraordinary Collection to be a momentous achievement in fundraising for Willow, and we are so grateful to each and every artist for their contribution.”
