Sale back in Kensington again. Dubai exhibition as well. College change format of the sale so that sale is on first Sunday and cards not collected until following Saturday.
The college also did a RCA secret project with Moncler, the luxury clothing retailer, in October 2016 called Freeze for Frieze which was curated by Tim Blanks. 483 slightly larger sized anonymous cards were sold at this show from the Moncler shop on Old Bond Street. The majority of cards were sold in an exclusive private viewing which excluded uninvited members of the public, although 20 cards were offered for sale online that evening. The remaining cards were sold to members of the public the following day and then subsequently online after the sale closed. The contributors list was exceptional including many contributors who have not contributed to RCA secret before or not for many years. The cost of the cards was £60. Moncler also published a bound catalogue of all the cards in the show, which was sent to every successful purchaser.

Sale in Battersea. College changed format of the sale again so that there was no in person viewing of the cards before the sale and a raffle for the first 250 in the queue. Chaos descended on Battersea as the college failed to communicate properly to the raffle winners about the purchasing procedure. This led to a number of bitter complaints to the college and on social media after the sale.
