Evening of Art 100 per cent of the profits to support disadvantaged young people



1


Dear Supporter, On behalf of The Prince’s Trust, delighted to present this fantastic collection, generously donated for second Evening of Art by some of country’s most renowned artists. We very grateful to them for their support.

I’m art our the are

This special event gives you the chance to acquire some truly outstanding art. We’d like to raise £70,000 for disadvantaged young people in the South West, by auctioning 70 pieces this evening. Massive thanks to our sponsors and supporters Coutts & Co, Withy King, Reside Bath and The Roper Family Trust. All money raised tonight will go towards helping to change the lives of young people. We’re also grateful to iBid who will be facilitating the Silent Auction Technology and Tom Best, of Christie’s, for hosting the Live Auction. The UK economy is slowly moving towards recovery, but youth unemployment still remains a huge problem. About one in six 16-24 year olds in the South West (17 per cent) are out of work - that’s almost 70,000 young people, with so much untapped potential. This inactivity generates lots of other problems too, including crime, anti-social behaviour and mental health issues - and extra costs for taxpayers. The Prince’s Trust reaches out to young people in the South West and helps them improve their confidence and motivation, by supporting them into employment, training or education. Three-quarters of our young people achieve a positive outcome, as a result of our support. I’m very grateful to the committee of volunteers who have worked so hard over the last year to help plan this event, and to the pro-bono support we have received. These invaluable contributions will help us achieve our ambition of raising £70,000 to help support disadvantaged young people. Here’s how you can take part in the auction. This year, with more art available to buy, all pieces will be available online ahead of the event via princes-trustbathart2013.com. The artwork will also be exhibited at the Evening of Art (strictly by invitation only) where you can bid using the Silent Auction technology or by participating in the exciting Live Auction. To find out more about how the Silent Auction and Live Auction will work, please see the information page. Once again, sincerest thanks to the artists for their extremely generous donations, and to you for your support. The Prince’s Trust wouldn’t exist without you.

Dermot Finch Director, South of England, The Prince’s Trust

Gerald Scarfe is Britain’s most celebrated satirical cartoonist. Born in London and following a brief period of study at the Royal College of Art, he was first published in Punch and Private Eye. Today, his work features in many of the world’s most respected publications, including The New Yorker, Vogue, Tatler and, most famously, The Sunday Times, at which he’s worked for 46 years. He’s published several books of his work and his fifty-plus solo exhibitions have spanned New York, Osaka, Montreal, Chicago and London. When he isn’t satirising our politicians, Gerald designs sets and costumes for operas and plays, writes and directs films and documentaries for television, and designs animation, notably for Pink Floyd’s The Wall and Disney’s Hercules. Gerald also painted a sculpture to support the Gromit Unleashed event in Bristol. Watch Out Gromit won the joint second highest bid at the auction, raising a fantastic £50,000. 4 PM’s and a Funeral was published in the 14 April 2013 edition of The Sunday Times, three days before the funeral of Lady Thatcher.

Peter Clossick is a fine art painter who conceptually approaches painting directly from life. He predominantly works in oils, with ideas formed through the physical act of painting and drawing. Educated at Goldsmiths College and Camberwell School of Art, Peter has been in shows regularly since 1978, including Whitechapel Open, the RA Summer Shows and the London Group, of which he was President between 2000 and 2005. In 1989 he had his first one-man exhibition in Sweet Waters Gallery and has exhibited at the Royal Portrait Society, the Mall Galleries, and many others. Internationally he has shown in the USA and around Europe. Autumn Fungi (oil on canvas) frames wild mushrooms gathered by Peter from local woodland against a surrealist landscape; that unlikely marriage of abstract treatment and natural subject characterises Peter’s work.

That meticulous approach is wonderfully evident in Spindle & Sloe Berries (watercolour on vellum). For more about Ros and her work, go to rosfranklin.co.uk

Sentimentality is conspicuous by its absence from Irene’s work: she aims to present the scenes she paints exactly as they are, warts and all. Irene’s sharp-as-glass reflections star in her donated work, Margaret’s Buildings Looking South, a unique print with hand-painted watercolour enhancement and hand-written message from Irene, produced specially for this event.

HRH The Prince of Wales

The Castle of Mey (© A. G. Carrick Limited)

2012 Watercolour

Live Lot 10 HRH The Prince of Wales (b. 1948) The Castle of Mey lithograph printed in colours, 2012, signed and dated in pencil, numbered AP 6/20, on wove paper with full margins. 275 x 410mm (10 ¾ x 16 in) Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from HRH The Prince of Wales and displayed in a blue leather bound presentation case. Provenance: Donated by the Artist to The Prince’s Trust Evening of Art His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales’ passion for watercolour painting is well-documented. His aptitude for art has found its place in his extensive charitable work, both in terms of raising funds and providing opportunities for young artists as president of The Prince's Trust. HRH The Prince of Wales founded The Prince's Trust in 1976. Having completed his duty in the Royal Navy, His Royal Highness became dedicated to improving the lives of disadvantaged young people in the UK, and founded The Trust to deliver on that commitment. On The Trust's launch in 1976 twenty-one pilot projects were set up around the country. Grants were given to a 19-year old woman to run a social centre for the Haggerston Housing Estate in east London, and for two ex-offenders to run a fishing club. Funds also allowed the hire of swimming baths in Cornwall to train young life guards and for a self-help bicycle repair scheme. Thirty-seven years later, The Prince’s Trust has helped more than 750,000 young people overcome challenges such as abuse, depression, addiction and homelessness, with more than three in four moving into work, education or training. The Castle of Mey is one of a collection of watercolours depicting Royal Residences painted by HRH The Prince of Wales. The castle was built by George IV, Earl of Caithness, in the 16th century. It was acquired by HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, in 1952, who arranged its restoration. In 1996, the estate was transferred to the Queen Elizabeth Castle of Mey Trust, whose President is The Prince of Wales.

The Seller assumes no risk, liability or responsibility for the authenticity or the authorship of any of the Property (that is, the identity of the creator or the period, culture, source or origin, as the case may be, with which the creation of any property is identified herein); The Property is sold with all faults and imperfections and errors of description; The Seller does not make or give and does not agree to make or give any representation of fact, undertaking, obligation, guarantee, contractual promise or warranty or undertake any duty of care of any kind or nature, expressed or implied, in relation to any description (which shall include inter alia physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, genuineness, attribution, authenticity or provenance) of any of the Property or any estimate in relation to it, nor in relation to satisfactory quality of the Property or its fitness for purpose. No statement made in the auction catalogue, at any time before, during or after the Sale, in any Sale invoice or elsewhere, will be deemed to be such a representation of fact, undertaking, obligation, guarantee, contractual promise or warranty. 2. Any of the Property may be withdrawn by the Seller at any time before the Sale. 3. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of the Sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue. 4. The Seller reserves the right to reject a bid from any bidder. Property may be offered subject to a reserve price. In the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer will have sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer and resell the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the Sale, the Sale records of the Seller will be conclusive in all respects. 5. If the auctioneer determines that any opening bid is not commensurate with the value of the Property, he may reject the same and withdraw the Property from Sale, and if, having acknowledged an opening bid, he decides that any advance thereafter is insufficient, he may reject the advance. 6. The sale of any lot is complete and the Contract for Sale is made at either the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer in the case of the live auction, or at the announced closing time of the silent auction. Thereupon, the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer for any lot is the purchaser (the “Purchaser”) of that lot (the “Lot”) and is contractually bound to: assume the risk and responsibility of the Lot; sign a confirmation of purchase thereof; and pay the full amount of his highest bid for the Lot (the “Purchase Price”). 7. Title to the Lot remains in and is retained by the Seller until the Purchase Price and all other sums payable by the Purchaser to the Seller have been paid in full, and received in cleared funds by the Seller. The Seller is entitled to withhold possession of the Lot from the Purchaser until this time. The Seller is only required to hold the Lot for 90 days from the date of the Sale, after which, if the Purchaser has not collected or arranged for collection of the Lot, the Seller may, at its sole discretion, send the Lot to external storage for the account and at the risk and expense of the Purchaser. Any charges associated with the transport and storage of the Lot are to be borne by the Purchaser and will be added to the Purchase Price. 8. Risk in the Lot passes to the Purchaser at the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer in respect of the Lot. The Seller will thereafter not be responsible for the Lot and the Purchaser will indemnify the Seller and keep the Seller fully indemnified from and against all claims, proceedings, costs, expenses and losses arising in respect of any injury, loss and damage caused to the Lot after the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer until the Purchaser obtains full title to it. 86

If the foregoing conditions and other applicable conditions are not complied with, without prejudice to any other remedies available to the Seller by law, which for the avoidance of doubt includes the right to take legal proceedings against the Purchaser for any sum due under the Contract for Sale and/or damages for breach of contract, the Seller, at its sole discretion, is entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights: to terminate the Contract for Sale immediately for breach of contract; to retain possession of the Lot; to be paid interest on any monies due at the rate of 5% per annum above the base rate of National Westminster Bank Plc to be calculated on a daily basis; to retain as liquidated damages all payments made by the Purchaser; to resell the Lot by auction, private treaty or any other means to any third party, on three days’ written notice of intention to sell to the Purchaser, following which the Purchaser will be liable to Seller for payment of any shortfall between the Purchase Price and the sum of the price achieved upon resale all other charges due hereunder and any incidental damages. The Seller is under no obligation to achieve an optimum or fair market value for the Lot upon resale. 11. The Purchaser will indemnify the Seller against all legal and other costs of enforcement, all losses and other expenses and costs incurred by the Seller (whether or not court proceedings will have been issued) as a result of the Seller taking any of the steps under clause 10. 12. Payments for purchases must be made in pound sterling (unless otherwise noted) and in any one of the following forms: cash, cheque (backed by cheque guarantee card) or major credit cards. 13. In no circumstances will the Purchaser be able to rescind the Contract of Sale. 14.

The Purchaser will be wholly responsible for any removal, storage, shipping, delivery costs, other charges and expenses incurred by the Seller in connection with the Lot and for complying with all import or export regulations in connection with the Lot. 16. If the Seller is prevented from performing its obligations under the Contract for Sale by circumstances beyond its control or if performance of its obligations would by reason of such circumstances give rise to a significantly increased financial cost to it, the Seller will not, for as long as such circumstances prevail, be required to perform such obligations. In such circumstances, the Seller will not be deemed to be in breach of the Contract of Sale, or be liable for failure to fulfill any of its duties thereunder and will only be liable to refund the Purchaser such sum that is equal to the Bid Amount (where this has been fully paid by the Purchaser) less any costs incurred by the Seller in connection with the Lot. 17. References in these Conditions of Sale to the singular will include references to the plural (and vice-versa) and reference to any one gender will include reference to other genders. 18. These Conditions of Sale, as well as the Purchaser’s and the Seller’s, respective rights and obligations hereunder, will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. 19.
