Charity Art Auction GET YOUR BIDS IN NOW, by pezlow on Apr 30, 2009 20:19:47 GMT 1, Next up - James Baker. This is a smashing canvas, quite hard to photograph due to all the different layers on it of oil paint, gloss, newspaper, spraypaint and oil pastel. Phew! Thanks to James and to his gallery Red Propeller for their donation, much appreciated.

Charity Art Auction GET YOUR BIDS IN NOW, by pezlow on Apr 30, 2009 20:23:56 GMT 1, Here's a reminder about the auction works, set out below again as I've had a few questions about it. The silent part of it is simply that the bids aren't shouted out. Basically it works like a live version of ebay. The current bids will be displayed on a board so everyone at the event knows exactly what the current bid is for each piece. Then all bidding stops at 8.15 and whoever has the highest bid then will be the winner. Hope that makes sense. Sorry I haven't had a chance to reply to each and every pm about the bidding process, been a little crazy these last few weeks.
1) The auction is on Thursday 14th May between 6.30 pm and 8.30pm.
2) The venue is in Westminster, Central London.
3) Tickets for the event cost ยฃ25 which includes (lots of) wine and also ยฃ25 off your first purchase at the auction (so it is effectively free). The tickets are now sorted so if you would like a ticket please give me a shout.
4) We will be taking commission bids for buyers who are unable to attend.
5) All of the pieces can be viewed in person at the event. Buyers can pay for and take the pieces away with them that night or they can collect them from me at some point after the auction. I will ship pieces for commission buyers at the buyers cost. There are a couple of fragile items in the auction which I will not ship and will need to be either collected on the night or from me at some point afterwards.

A little competition. In the description of the SPQR lot there is a quote that SPQR has written on the back of the piece. This refers to a something being activated.

Charity Art Auction GET YOUR BIDS IN NOW, by pezlow on May 10, 2009 7:16:05 GMT 1, GET YOUR BIDS IN NOW if you cannot make the auction. Just PM me with your commission bids letting me know the lot(s) you want to bid on and your maximum bid. I will then bid on your behalf at the auction just like in a real auction.
Please note there is a minimum bid of ยฃ25 for each lot but apart from that bid away. Please don't feel shy about having a bid you think is low - why not chance your arm. You never know your luck - it might be successful.
For successful bidders you can pick up the pieces from me in central london or south london after the auction or I can ship to you. Paypal payments are fine or cash/cheque on collection.
Cheers and GET BIDDING

Charity Art Auction GET YOUR BIDS IN NOW, by pezlow on May 11, 2009 21:17:22 GMT 1, Also sorry it isn't clear but there are two sets on the flickr site. The pieces being auctioned in 2009 and, separately, the pieces that were auctioned in 2007. All the pieces being auctioned this year are on the first 16 pages of the flickr site - numbered in reverse order 63 to 1. When the numbers go high again you know you have reached the 2007 lots, which aren't for sale. On the front page the lots for 2009 are assembled in the "Silent Art Auction 2009" set.
I hope that is clear and apologies for any confusion
