QUAKE VICTIMS TO BENEFIT FROM SALE OF PAINTINGS
FROM INDIAN/PAKISTANI ARTISTS & COLLECTORS IN UK
To raise funds for the earthquake victims, Pakistani-born art collector, Kamran Anwar, has co-ordinated the gift of 12 important paintings for auction at Bonhams at 2pm this Thursday October 13. Please come along to the auction and bid aggressively.
The money raised will be donated to the Pakistan Red Crescent Society charity and the President of Pakistan Relief Fund. Bonhams are selling the 12 paintings on a not for profit basis on the same day as it is auctioning
its latest group of modern and contemporary Indian & Islamic paintings.
Prices for such paintings have risen dramatically in recent years.
Mr Anwar, a London based banker, said: ?As a Pakistani, it becomes a personal responsibility to do whatever one can in the hour of need of our fellow countrymen who have suffered a tragedy unimaginable to us. This is a tragedy that transcends national boundaries and differences. It is very heart-warming to see the response of the artists and art enthusiasts who reacted within hours. I would like to thank Bonhams who embraced the idea wholeheartedly.?
?The upcoming art auction will serve as the perfect venue to collect the much needed funds through the sale of paintings specially donated for this cause by artists and art enthusiasts. We appeal to the Asian diaspora to come forward and bid aggressively for these works so that we can maximise the proceeds for this noble cause.? Bonhams will match 20 percent of the total sale proceeds.
The twelve paintings generously donated are:
1. Jamil Naqsh (Pakistan, b 1939) Water Color on paper. Personally donated by Najmi Sura and Jamil Naqsh.

5. FRESH PAINTING MADE IN THE LAST 24 HOURS COMES TO MARKET: A painting by Krishen Khanna, painted by him in the past 24 hours in direct response to
the disaster, will also be part of the sale. The artist comments: "What can one say in the face of such orrendous calamities which are striking one after another in rapid succession? It is a hard way to realize our common human destiny, but it is happening - and the way people are not only expressing their concern but are coming together to actively help their stricken brethren, offers a ray of hope."
