London art consultancy West Contemporary announces the release of five rarely-seen images by iconic British photographer, Mick Rock. The limited-edition photographic prints feature intimate and candid portraits of David Bowie, Kate Moss, Freddie Mercury, and more. These visuals were initially going to be displayed as part of small show in London, but the presentation was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
20% of all print sales will go towards West Contemporary’s fundraiser to provide FFP3 masks for Britain’s National Health Service. “The NHS has always been there for me growing up in the UK and for all members of my family, which is why I want to donate 20% of sales of my new works,” said Rock. “If this virus is a reminder of anything, it’s how much we need the NHS. They are our lifeline. We owe them every effort we can think of to protect their own lives whilst they are protecting the lives of others.”
Head to West Contemporary’s website to purchase the prints in three different sizes with prices starting at £1,600.00 GBP (approx. $1, 987 USD).
In other COVID-19 relief efforts, the Kinkade Family Foundation has teamed up with the New Art Dealers Alliance to launch toilet paper prints by the late artist Thomas Kinkade as way to support struggling galleries impacted by the virus.
Interdisciplinary artist Jun Cha has unveiled a special edition print titled PROTECTOR to support the most vulnerable frontline providers combating COVID-19 in Skid Row, Downtown Los Angeles. The 35 by 28-inch print is produced on museum etching paper and includes a custom gold embossment of the sword of Archangel Michael. A portion of the proceeds from the print sale will be donated to Protect Angels, which was founded by Jun Cha to “protect the protectors.”
The black and white giclée print depicts the Archangel Michael holding a sword in triumph against evil and sickness. According to Roman Legends, the angel appeared above the Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome and ended the plague of Justinian — a devastating pandemic that killed tens of millions of people. In light of the current situation, Jun Cha chose the “Protector” as the focus of his work to pay homage to the healthcare workers fighting coronavirus around the world.
Beginning April 22 at 1 p.m. EDT, PROTECTOR will launch on Jun Cha’s website for $250 USD.

As the Roman Empire collapsed, the plague of Justinian was one of the deadliest pandemics in history that killed tens of millions of people. In the center of Rome stood the ancient tomb and military fortress Castel Sant’Angelo, named after the legend of Archangel Michael appearing above the castle and ending the plague. In scriptures the PROTECTOR is described as a healer of sickness, guardian of warriors and the light in the darkness. In times of adversity he manifests fortitude and courage to those willing to sacrifice themselves for others. Inspired by health care workers fighting COVID-19 around the world, PROTECTOR unleashes Archangel Michael to slay Satan in the war to save humanity. #skidrow #protectangels
