UNDERCOVER ART The artist Mo Kelly at the launch of Incognito 2018, the art exhibition that gives you a chance to buy a postcard-sized piece that could be by Tracey Emin, among others. A thousand artists have contributed 1,500 original works to the secret sale in aid of the Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation supported by William Fry. Buyers don’t find out the identity of the artist whose piece they’ve bought until after they’ve handed over their money. Last year’s sale raised more than €80,000. Photograph: Naoise Culhane
