Ellen Charap: An Artistic Life

Variety, the Children's Charity is delighted to present the work of Ellen Charap. The charitable exhibition and sale will be held at Art Bermondsey gallery on Bermondsey Street, starting on Wednesday, 2nd through Sunday 6th July, 2014. All proceeds from the exhibition will go to Variety and will help so many children and young people throughout the UK who are sick, disabled or disadvantaged.

When Ellen Charap died last year she was still making art. Born in Munich, Germany in 1937, she had emigrated with her family to the USA in 1939 where she later trained as a painter in abstract expressionism. She moved to London in 1963, and has spent over fifty years drawing, painting and printing. Several of her works are in museums and private collections across the country, but many have never been exhibited. This week-long exhibition marks the anniversary of her death and is a belated opportunity to see the range of her output.

You can browse over a hundred of Ellen's works in our catalogue at www.variety.org.uk/ellencharap. They are on sale at the prices listed. Some of the smaller works will be available at a discounted price of £100 at Art Bermondsey. On Sunday, July 6th, at 3:00 PM, some larger works will be auctioned at the gallery at greatly reduced prices.

Variety would like to thank the Charap Family for their generous donation of artworks, and Jeremy Levison, the owner of Art Bermondsey gallery, who has kindly loaned us the gallery space.
