“This will be an exhilarating art auction, with many acclaimed and noteworthy iconic artists from the UK and abroad kindly donating a painting (or work of art to honour the victims of this tragic loss of life in London.”
The ‘Art4Grenfell’ group has been created to raise funds to support the homeless residents and survivors of the Grenfell fire tragedy. Organiser and founder Hercules Fisherman has brought together many esteemed London and international artists from around the world, who have been touched by this tragedy. The sole objective is to raise as much money as possible through one of the UK’s largest Charity Art auctions, which will be hosted at the RBS headquarters in the City of London with Colin Sheaf, Bonhams UK Chairman, as auctioneer. The auction is open to all guests with admission by ticket only, and is being held on Wednesday 21 Feb 2018 at The Atrium, 3rd Floor, 250 Bishopsgate EC2M 2AA with the Preview and Reception from 6.00pm, followed by the Live Auction starting at 7.00pm. Admission is by pre-purchased ticket only, with all seated and standing tickets available for purchase exclusively online at www.Art4Grenfell.org
Every lot in the auction will be listed and where possible illustrated online from January until the live auction. Hercules Fisherman, Organiser of Art4Grenfell commented: “We are overwhelmed with the response and have been generously donated works by over 100 artists for the auction which ran on Wednesday 21st February. The donors include many well-known and respected names such as: Alison Hunter, Dame Zandra Rhodes, Andrew Logan, Chris Moon, Paul Freud, Boy George, Gilbert and George, Dee Izmail, Darren Coffield and Jonty Hurwitz”.
The aim is to have as many eminent artists’ works as possible donated and delivered to raise funds for the survivors and their families. All proceeds will be donated through the K&C Foundation, a local independent charity based in North Kensington, which works with the local community to tackle inequalities and hardships faced by many across the Borough. Following the tragic event at Grenfell Tower, the K&C Foundation set up a fundraising appeal for those affected by the Grenfell Tower tragedy.
“We are really grateful to Art4Grenfell for this initiative to raise funds for the survivors from Grenfell Tower.” commented Susan Dolton, Director of K&C Foundation.
The Art4Grenfell group is calling upon artists to donate a piece of their artwork for the auction, by pledging the piece via the website www.Art4Grenfell.org or contacting Hercules Fisherman on the Art4Grenfell Facebook page. “We are proud to be associated with Art4Grenfell to collaborate with them in this effort. The K&C Foundation is a local independent charity based in North Kensington, and already has raised £6 million for the Grenfell Tower Fund through generous public donations. The campaign was set up to provide emergency and on-going support to residents and others affected directly in the local community. £4.44 million has now been paid out to help the survivors of the Grenfell Tower tragedy and to the next of kin of those who lost their lives.
