Bentley Designers and Stylists Create Art to Aid Cancer Centre
Bentley Motors is staging an art auction at Bonhams to raise money for The Christie, a cancer hospital in Manchester.
The men and women of the Bentley styling and design team have turned their creative energy to making art.
The aim is to raise money for The Christie Hospital in Manchester, a leading international centre for research and treatment. The art will be auctioned at an invitation-only evening event from 6pm to 8pm on Tuesday December 1 at Bonhams the auction house in London.
Entrance to the auction is strictly by invitation only, but from Wednesday November 4 all of the artworks will be viewable and online bidding will be available exclusively on the Bentley website www.bentleydesignpassion.com. All 40 pieces will be open for bidding from November 4. Online bidding will finish at midday on the day of the Bentley auction at Bonhams (December 1) and the highest bids transferred to the auction room. The live auction of 25 artworks will take place at Bonhams, where guests will still be encouraged to bid silently at the event for the remaining 15 pieces.
The Christie is a specialist cancer centre in Manchester that treats 40,000 patients a year. It is currently building the largest early phase 1 clinical trials unit in the world that will further enhance its reputation for international research. The Christie Charity helps fund cancer research, cutting edge treatments, major new developments and extra patient services that fall outside the remit of NHS funding. These include complementary therapies, counselling and creative projects such as art and music therapy. Together they enable patients to take charge of their illness and them to work towards their recovery.
