PETER DOHERTY AUCTION EVENING

Wednesday 11th May, 7-9pm

The Cob Gallery, 205 Royal College St, London, NW1 0SG

www.cobgallery.com - www.gutsforgarters.com

Due to popular demand Guts for Garters and The Cob Gallery present an auction featuring the artwork and personal belongings of Peter Doherty.

Select items from Doherty's work and life will be available to the public, including his iconic

military jackets, notebooks, and his collaboration with Amy Winehouse; the blood painting,

'Ladylike'. These items were not for sale during 'On Blood' due to the difficulty in pricing such

personal works and belongings. However, due to unprecedented interest, we are now presented

these works to the open market for the first time, allowing fans and collectors alike to determine

price. Doherty’s artistic production is driven by a desire to spurn convention in favour of a bohemian

ideal. It has seen him become the centre of an enduring public fascination. The tabloid press,

documentary makers, and popular culture blogs have all peered in, offering varying accounts of

what they wanted to see; yet the most sincere indictment of this well known figure is the one he

offers of himself. In this auction Doherty offers up some of his most personal belongings

including a bureau with inscribed carved messages and in blood, and notebooks with original

workings of famous lyrics. The paintings up for auction also chart Doherty's close artisticrelationships. A percentage of all sales will go to the Amy Winehouse foundation. For any other

enquiries please contact [email protected].

We are pleased to announce that those unable to attend can bidonline at i-bidder.com
