Fancy owning an original Damien Hirst or Grayson Perry but without the hefty price tag? Take a gamble and put your art knowledge to the test for a good cause with the Art on a Postcard Secret Auction, which returns to London's Maddox Gallery for the third year.
A number of artists have been asked to create postcard-sized artworks to go under the hammer on 17 November. As well as Hirst and Perry, other big names include Maggi Hambling, Peter Blake and Royal Academicians Ken Howard and Mick Rooney, as well as emerging talent.
