Christie’s hosts an online charity auction of original artworks from the soon-to-reopen George in Mount Street, London, in support of the Caring Family Foundation
When the late Mark Birley founded the club George in Mayfair in 2001, it was intended as an informal riposte to the more high-minded London clubs of the era. Famously dog-friendly from the outset, its walls were graced by many of David Hockney’s dachshund sketches, a constant subject for the artist at the turn of the century. Birley sold George to Richard Caring in 2007, and the canine theme continued. There was even a menu for dogs, as well as fundraising drives for animal welfare charities.
To support the foundation’s work, the Carings have set up an online auction in collaboration with Christie’s. Seventy-one lots, covering photography, prints, original sketches, posters and other works, are available to browse through right now, with bidding opening next week.I’m a Rare Bear , a blue and white neon piece from 2014, as well as evocative ski and travel posters, photographs by Slim Aarons, and original drawings by EH Shephard. There’s also a hefty helping of Hockney, including the aforementioned portraits of the dachshunds, Stanley and Boogie. Now’s your chance to own a small piece of clubland history.
