In a time when the art world must face the ethical implications of observing suffering from afar, "100 Artists for Gaza" serves as a reminder that creativity comes with responsibility.This project gathered artists who refuse the silent neutrality, transforming their work into a direct gesture of solidarity and humanitarian support to the Geneva-based international humanitarian medical organization that provides urgent medical care to people affected by conflict, epidemics, natural disasters, and exclusion from health care, Doctors Without Borders.
It was not just an art sale, it is a collective stance, a testament where artistic voices can mobilize compassion, resources, and global attention where it is most needed.
Over 160 artists have donated their work to a charity online auction.
One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to Doctors Without Borders to support their humanitarian efforts in the Gaza Strip, where buildings and infrastructure have been damaged or destroyed since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
Although the sale is titled "100 Artists for Gaza," it actually includes works by 168 artists.
Participating artists include Kara Walker, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Olafur Eliasson, among others.
The 100 Artists for Gaza sale generated nearly CHF 258,700 in online bids.
All proceeds are designated for Doctors Without Borders emergency medical work in region, providing direct assistance to hospitals and mobile clinics.
In London, a separate charity auction under the Voices of Palestine banner raised more than £250.000, driven by donated works from both emerging and established artists.
Ultimately the responsible art sales show the art world can channel its cultural capital toward tangible relief. When executed effectively, the art world demonstrates that artistic production can serve as a means of aesthetic expression and a mechanism for ethical action, fostering collective solidarity and real-world impact.

The Peace Gallery, Emmanuel Di Donna, and David Schrader announced on 1 December 2025 the creation of a joint gallery devoted entirely to the
Stroger together;
The secondary art market has become too big, too global, and too competitive for any one dealer to handle on their own. By merging thier power they create a "super -gallery" that can offer collectors everything in one place. A united platform gives them a larger inventory, more clients and greater influence. That is the plan.
In a year of global gallery closures, the formation of PSD suggests a change in the art market. Potential benefits include shared overheads, knowledge sharing and networking opportunities.
The merging of PDSs shows that the secondary market is shifting towards strategic alliances rather than solo competition. Let's wait and see!
