An A5 postcard of art made by Robert Smith of The Cure is being auctioned off as part of The anonymous heART project.

The one-day exhibition for The anonymous heART project took place yesterday (9 October) at Northern Ballet in Leeds.

This year's contributions are now up for auction. According to NME, last year Heart Research UK raised £43,000 from auction sales.

Each year The anonymous heART project enlists celebrities and artists to create a piece of artwork to fit on an A5 postcard.
