An exciting auction of original art works is coming up in Sudbury in October, and tickets are now on sale. The event will be held in The Assembly Room at the Town Hall on Friday 20th October at 7 p.m.
Spear-headed
by Suffolk-artist Maggi Hambling and art critic Andrew Lambirth, the Auction
will feature around 140 lots donated from the Estates and Studios of some of Britain’s greatest and most inspiring
artists such as Michael Ayrton, Edward Bawden, Antony Gormley, Maggi
Hambling, John Hoyland, David Inshaw, Allen Jones, Sarah Lucas, Sargy Mann, John Nash and William Pye.
This is a not to be missed opportunity to
obtain a unique work of art!
The Auction is just one of a number of
events in coming months to support the ambitious plans at the museum. The aim is to match the £4.7m award from the
Heritage Lottery Fund in order to fund the renovation and redisplay of the historic house and the
construction of a new, landmark three-storey structure with four new galleries
– a showcase Gainsborough gallery, a landscape studio with panoramic views over
Sudbury, a community gallery and a major exhibition gallery/performance space.
Tickets
for the auction cost £25 and include wine, refreshments and a catalogue. They are available from Gainsborough's House (01787 372958.)
Do
come along and bring your art loving friends too!
