An original graffiti artwork created by Jessy Bartfeld in collaboration with Graffiti Life. The canvas entitled "Senna's Helmet" was made in June 2015, and was auctioned as part of a charity event organised by Hexagon Modern Classics, celebrating the life of Ayrton Senna, to benefit Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Unframed, canvas only.
In 2008, when Bartfeld was only two-years-old, she was saved from a life-threatening brain tumour and received treatment at Great Ormond Street. Fully recovered, she and her family have been fundraising for the charity ever since. "Families from all over the country go to Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) when there is nowhere else to go to get the medical treatment their children so desperately need. Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity’s success in supporting the hospital and the families and children it sees is due to the incredible strength of support that we receive from our donors. We raise money so that GOSH can provide world-class care for its young patients and their families, and to pioneer new treatments and cures for childhood illnesses. I’d like to thank Jessy and Annabel Bartfeld and the consignor for their support–it makes such a difference to improving the lives of some of the most vulnerable children and young people,” Tim Johnson CEO Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.
