'Visual Aid for Band Aid' was a remarkable collaboration between leading 20th Century artists in support of Band Aid's 'Feed the World' Campaign in 1985, the screenprints sold to raise funds following the Live Aid broadcast. Featuring unique works from artists such as David Hockney, Bridget Riley, Peter Blake, Patrick Caulfield, Eduardo Paolozzi, Terry Frost, Michael Craig-Martin, Richard Long, Colin Self, John Piper and Richard Hamilton the artwork was issued in a limited edition of 500 prints editioned by Coriander Studio between October and November 1985, with a further 10 insurance copies and no extra proofs made. This example is numbered 154, and signed around the margins by each of the 104 contributing artists in pencil.
