Last week Christie’s hosted a charity auction at its annual *Vanity Fair Contemporary Art Party,* where an artwork by acclaimed British artist **Tracey Emin** raised £30,000 for HIV and sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust (THT).

The artwork, *How many times do I say I love you,* was created from a Nebuchadnezzar bottle of Champagne Piper-Heidsieck, the largest bottle commercially available on the market today. A Nebuchadnezzar contains fifteen litres (twenty bottles) of champagne.

It was auctioned by Christie’s at its *Vanity Fair Contemporary Art Party* in its exhibition *Thinking Big*: Major Sculpture an Installation sold to benefit the Saatchi Gallery’s Foundation at The Sorting Office in central London.

Tracey Emin was invited by Christie’s and Piper-Heidsieck to turn a Nebuchadnezzar into a work of art to be auctioned to support her charity of choice. She donated all the proceeds to Terrence Higgins Trust.

**Sir Nick Partridge, Chief Executive at Terrence Higgins Trust, said:**

> *“The funds raised from the sale of this stunning artwork will help us be there for people who are in desperate need. Tracey is a long-time supporter of our charity, and we are immensely grateful for everything she has done, and continues to do, to help improve the lives of people with HIV.”*
