Art sale success thanks to Eric Clapton

6 June 2008

Legendary blues guitarist Eric Clapton donated more than 20 paintings to an art sale held at the Chelsea Red Cross charity shop, which raised more than £4,000 on 5 June.

Prestigious art galleries, art dealers and artists, including local artist Paul Richard, also donated artwork for the Red Cross sale at the Chelsea shop on Old Church Street, London.Shop manager Cathy Shimmell standing next to one of the paintings for sale by local artist Paul Richard

The shop, famous for its stock of vintage and designer clothes, has held many successful sale events in the past.

Cathy Shimmell, shop manager, said: "The sale was a huge success. My wonderful customers and other kind people have been so generous in donating art works to support the Red Cross. I'm very grateful to Eric Clapton who donated 23 pieces of art work, which turned out to be very popular."
