The Art of CARE - Small works by great artists
My name is Daisy Bell. I am a student at Edinburgh University.
With the help of two friends Mary Ramsden and Marianna Chidley I
am organising an Art Exhibition and Auction to be held in Edinburgh
at the end of September, and email auction for all but 60 selected
works, which will be sold at the Exhibition.
My uncle, Robin Needham was killed in the tsunami on Boxing Day
last year. His death naturally caused my family immense grief but
it was his loss to the International Aid and Development world that
has inspired me to take on this charity project. Robin worked for
CARE International for 25 years helping a great number of third
world countries and was director of CARE-Nepal when he was killed.
It is ironic that he was taken from us in the world’s biggest
natural disaster when he would have been in his element helping.
We have sent a single plain postcard (approx: 5 ½”
by 3 ½”) and a SAE to many established artists, writers,
musicians, actors and celebrities. These will be shown in the CARE
Exhibition, priced, and then sold by either email auction - closing
date for the on-line auction is 6.00pm Monday 3rd October - or at
the Opening on 30th September
by catalogue/representative only. All proceeds will go towards the
fund set up in the name of Robin Needham with CARE International
UK. Robin was the first director of CARE Britain and helped to form
and establish this branch of CARE in 1988.
Through this project we hope to raise enough money to help in specific
villages that were destroyed by the tsunami. We have been assured
by the charity that all money raised will go directly to these areas
affected by the disaster; any leftover funds will go to help in
the Third World.
Already over 200 works have been returned, including postcards
from so many wonderful people and artists it's hard to single out
any, but including Sir Paul McCartney, David Hockney, Tracey
Emin, Damien Hirst , Nigel Havers, Charlotte Church, Loyd Grossman,
The Kings of Leon, David Linley, Gail Porter , Mario Testino ,Theo
Fennell, Antony Gormley RA, Norman Ackroyd RA, Professor Chris Orr
RA, Dr.Elizabeth Blackadder RA, Mario Testino, The Chapman Brothers
and Graham Rust -- see the above link to the Artists List and

information, or would like to participate in this project in any
way, please do contact me.
