An anti-corporate, political painting made by Thom Yorke and Radiohead art collaborator Stanley Donwood has gone up for auction over at the Bonhams website.
The work, originally made in 2005 as part of a fair trade protest, is expected to go for a minimum of £3,500 – £4,000 ($5,500 – $6,300).
About the painting, Yorke tweeted:
Hope someone in the financial industry buys this, what a novelty to have a painting at auction ha! http://t.co/D3yR5dG94S

All proceedings are expected to be donated to charity, Trade Justice Movement.
Yorke and Donwood originally met while studying art at the University of Exeter, and the latter has been designing album artwork and promo materials for Radiohead and Yorke since 1994.
