Charity Appeal, by pezlow on Apr 24, 2007 23:19:54 GMT 1, Hey all - apologies for not getting back to you earlier. Been quite busy arranging something or other.
ABC - I'm afraid we won't have facilities to take card payments on the day. So cash and cheque or, for those people I know from the forum, I am happy to take a promise and a paypal email addy.
Some more pieces added to the flickr site just now including a couple of absolute stunners. One by Gareth Morgan (check out his amazing work at and one by Elph, who almost certainly needs no introduction. The cardboard piece by elph just has to be seen in the flesh to be really appreciated. I am loving this guys work.

Charity Appeal, by Strange Al on Apr 25, 2007 9:09:50 GMT 1, Perry - you've amassed some very cool stuff. Big respect to you and those artists out there who've contributed. Kicking myself that I didn't get my act together and send you something! Next time!
I can't make the event and so am planning to place commission bids on a few items. I only have limited budget, which I'm sure won't stretch to winning all the items I'd like. At least I hope not, otherwise you're not raising the money you deserve.
Are the lots going to be in the order they're in on the website? Also, if place a commission bid with a maximum of ยฃ200 on Lot 1, for example, and ยฃ200 on Lot 2. If I don't win Lot 1, can I instruct you to automatically raise my maximum on Lot 2 to ยฃ400? I can see how that could get very complicated and why you may not want to work out all the permutations.

Charity Appeal, by pezlow on Apr 25, 2007 10:11:29 GMT 1, Hey there jjoshi. Unfortunately all the lots are going to close at the same time. But if you let me know which lots you would like to bid for and the maximum that you would like to bid for each lot and the maximum you can afford to pay out in total I will make sure that those limits are not exceeded.
Just had word from Gilbert and George's publicist that they are going to donate something. Not sure what it is yet but will probably be a signed book or something similarly nice.

Charity Appeal, by Strange Al on Apr 25, 2007 10:41:15 GMT 1, Cheers Perry.
I'll have a proper look through the website at lunchtime and PM you with my commission bids.
Obviously hadn't read your email on page 2 properly about it being a silent auction. I had visions of you standing at the auctioneer's lectern, in some large sepia coloured hall, with gavel in hand.
Good luck!

If Banksy or POW were to donate one of his canvases, you may not reach the figure in green but would certainly get much closer. Next time perhaps. POW/Banksy - are you listening?
Great result on getting something from Gilbert & George -that's brilliant for your PR. If it does come off and you're not already doing so, I'd definitely get a new press release out before the event.
I'm a big fan of Gilbert & George's work; particularly, the Black & White with Red images they made in the 70s and early 80s. The new book is an awesome anthology - though let's hope they send you a print. That would really add to the total.

Charity Appeal, by stylus on Apr 27, 2007 9:41:22 GMT 1, A big thank you to Pezlow and associates for putting together a great event last night. Mrs Stylus and I had a great time meeting the art and gazing at the people (sorry: Santa's Ghetto rip off).
There was a great selection of art there and it looks at though the auction would have raised a fair few quid for charity.
Ripper's Crucipod canvas was the subject of a bidding war (it looked incredible), and I think Adam Koukoudakis's piece fetched the highest sum.
I finally managed to bag a Faile - Shimmering Red Dog. Very pleased indeed!

The auction was fully silent wasn't it?
You don't know what the winner for the Crucipod paid do you?

Charity Appeal, by Strange Al on Apr 27, 2007 11:59:25 GMT 1, Sounds like the night was a big success and that some of the pieces went for very decent sums, which is great to hear.
I'm now thinking my various bids were too low and very unlikely to have been successful. Can't wait to get the full run down from Perry (who's no doubt sleeping off a killer hangover somewhere).

Charity Appeal, by pezlow on Apr 27, 2007 13:49:48 GMT 1, Hey all - funnily enough been doing some (paid) work this morning for about the first time in a week.
It was a great night and thank you to all who attended, bought art, drank booze and chatted to me. Apologies if I appeared a bit stressed out at times. Having 4 people shout bids at you all at once can do that.
We raised at total of ยฃ7,795 which is amazing. For a small charity this really swells the coffers and means we can help lots more people next year.
Rippers piece was the subject of intense bidding and stylus is right - it hit ยฃ385 before one of the bidders gave up. The piece that fetched the most was Adam Koukoudakis but we also had high bids for all three faile prints (thanks stylus), the Charming Baker original, the Dan Baldwin, the Jonah, the Nick Danziger, the John Squire, the neverwork and the Gilbert and George books.
There were a few commission bid winners. I will be contacting all individually over the weekend but to put you out of your misery only the following lots were subject to successful commission bids:
10 - Cept 20 - Lucy 24 - Adam Koukoudakis 38 - Faile 40 - Faile 58 - Jan Freigeist 60 - Gareth Morgan 61 - Elph.
Cheers
Perry

Good point! We may have chatted at some point. One guy asked my if I was from the dark side of the light side. My girlfriend thought we weere insane.
Next time, we'll need a secret code. Perhaps I'll carry a copy of the Socialist Worker or something...
