"Kate Bush is harnessing the power of her global hit Running Up That Hill in collaboration with leading names in British art to raise money for children caught up in global conflicts. The singer-songwriter invited 52 visual artists to respond to her lyric If I only could, I'd make a deal with God from her 1985 anthem. One of her best-loved songs and hailed as one of the greatest songs of all time by Rolling Stone."
"All wars leave horrific scars; ruined lives, families ripped apart, life-changing injuries, trauma, and loss on a massive scale but it's the children who suffer the most in so many ways. Their past, present and future melt away into fear and uncertainty. It is more important than ever we support War Child and their invaluable work providing immediate aid to children caught in conflict all over the world including in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan and Syria."
Kate Bush has invited 52 visual artists to respond to the lyric 'If I only could, I'd make a deal with God' from the 1985 song Running Up That Hill. An online auction named Sound & Vision will run from 28 October to 13 November with starting bids at 100. Proceeds will benefit War Child, which protects, educates, and defends the rights of children living in war zones, including Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan and Syria. Contributing artists include Maggi Hambling and Peter Doig, with works such as Midnight Wave, The Hill, and Child of War.
