Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ARTWORKS BY some of the most unconventional and controversial of Britain's artists are available at Christie's auction house in a sale of "Brit pack" pieces unveiled yesterday.
Among the items is Damien Hirst's first effort to create art from dead creatures preserved in formaldehyde.
The auction, which takes place next week, also includes the unsettling mutant dummies of the Chapman brothers, as well as works by Adam Chodzko and Marc Quinn.
Hirst's Alone Yet Together is a cabinet containing a hundred fish preserved in formaldehyde solution, with an estimated sale price of pounds 100,000 to pounds 150,000.
Quinn is represented in the auction by the Property of A Lady, a polyurethane rubber and stainless steel sculpture representing a melting candle in the shape of a human body. It has an estimated sale tag of pounds 25,000 to pounds 35,000.
