RCA Secret

RCA Secret 2011 celebrated its Eighteenth Birthday as a unique exhibition and sale of original postcard-sized art, made by professional artists, designers and illustrators, plus current postgraduate students at the Royal College of Art.

THE SECRET

The postcards are displayed anonymously and are signed on the reverse, so that the artist remains a secret until after the cards are purchased and their signature is revealed.

THE ARTISTS

Over 1,000 artists donated their original art to RCA Secret 2011, including Tracey Emin, Anish Kapoor, Grayson Perry, Yoko Ono, Olafur Eliasson, Yinka Shonibare and John Baldessari, designers Kenneth Grange, Margaret Calvert and James Dyson, fashion designers Paul Smith, Manolo Blahnik and Erdem, animator Nick Park, photographer David Bailey and film maker Mike Leigh, as well as up-and-coming students and graduates from the Royal College of Art.

THE EXHIBITION & THE SALE

RCA Secret 2011 has now closed. Go to view postcards to see all of the works and find out which artists made them. The Sale was held on 26 November 2011 to raise money for the RCA's Fine Art Student Award Fund.

THE ESSAY

RCA Secret invited MA students of Critical Writing in Art & Design at the Royal College of Art to write an introductory text to this year's exhibition. You can read Susannah Worth's winning piece here.
