Sir Tom Hunter donates his Vettriano to charity fund-raising auction

Jack Vettriano OBE (b.1951)
Night-Time Rituals II
Oil on canvas
12 x 15 inches (canvas size)
21 x 24 inches (frame size)
Signed, Painted in 2012

** Painting Sold for £65,000 **

Sir Tom Hunter has donated a painting by Jack Vettriano so that it may be auctioned to raise funds for the STV Appeal 2013.

Entitled Night-Time Rituals II, the painting was acquired by Sir Tom at a charity fund-raising dinner last year and the Scottish philanthropist has re-donated it for an on-line auction to raise funds for the STV Appeal, an annual fund-raising initiative launched in 2011 by STV and The Hunter Foundation to help children and young people affected by poverty in Scotland.

Night-time Rituals II will be on display at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow from 1st September to 11th October 2013.

The sale of Night-time Rituals II is being handled by Glasgow based auction house, McTears, via their on-line bidding platform Gallery 1842. Bidding started on-line on Sunday 1st September and ends during the live STV Appeal show on Friday 11th October.

Jack Vettriano has given his support to the re-gifted donation and comments:”I applaud Sir Tom’s generous decision to donate the painting that he acquired last year and would encourage any potential bidders to follow his example by bidding as generously as they can in the knowledge all funds will go to the STV Appeal, which was set up to address a hugely important issue for Scotland.

I was shocked to hear the statistic that 220,000 children in Scotland are living in poverty and I am pleased to have been able to make a contribution to the STV Appeal and to give my on-going support to this fund-raising initiative. Night-time Rituals, explores a theme to which I like to return from time to time – it’s about creating an atmosphere of anticipation and indulging in those rare moments where all your senses collide.”

In July 2013, the 25th Anniversary issue of Vogue Italia included a highlight of the Vettriano inspired fashion story, ‘Pulp: His Kind of Woman’, in their ‘Steven Meisel: Greatest Hits, Volume 1’ anthology, compiled to celebrate the magazine’s benchmark anniversary.

The internationally acclaimed fashion photographer, Steven Meisel, originally shot the 32-page story inspired by the paintings of Jack Vettriano for the August 2004 issue of Vogue Italia. Entitled ‘Pulp: His Kind of Woman’ , styled by Edward Enninful and produced by Eric Hoffman, Meisel’s fashion story was credited as being based on the paintings of Jack Vettriano and explores the film noir themes for which Jack has become famous.

Some of the photographs are direct interpretations of individual paintings, whilst others are more in homage to the style and atmoshpere of Vettriano’s work.

KELVINGROVE ART GALLERY & MUSEUM TO HOST JACK VETTRIANO RETROSPECTIVE

Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum

21st September 2013 – 23rd February 2014

Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum is staging the most comprehensive exhibition ever devoted to Scottish artist, Jack Vettriano. This is the first major Vettriano retrospective, bringing together more than 100 of the artist’s paintings, including his most definitive and best-loved works, for the first time from private collections around the world.

This retrospective exhibition showcases such key paintings as Dance me to the end of Love (1998), Mad Dogs (1992), Long Time Gone (2006), Bluebird at Bonneville (1996) and The Billy Boys (1994). Alongside these classic, romantically themed paintings for which Vettriano is perhaps best known, this exhibition will also feature extensive examples of his powerfully erotic works such as Game On (1999), The Parlour of Temptation (1996), An Imperfect Past (2000), Fetish (1998 ) and Night Geometry (1996). All the paintings featured in this exhibition are on loan from private collections and many are going on public display for the first time in close to 20 years.

Jack Vettriano said: “I was deeply touched when approached by Kelvingrove Art Gallery about staging a Retrospective exhibition for me, having long since been an admirer of their collections and overall ethos. Exhibiting in such majestic surroundings is a great honour and one for which I am extremely grateful. I look forward to spending some time in Glasgow and renewing my acquaintance with some of my favourite paintings in Kelvingrove’s Collection – works by the likes of Van Gogh and the Scottish Colourists that, in many ways, inspired me to become an artist at the outset.

It will not be without some considerable emotion that I will also be reunited with some of my own paintings; works that span 20 years of my career and many of which I have not seen in years. I’ve been very lucky that my works have found their way into a diverse range of private collections around the world over the years and I am most grateful to the owners for so kindly loaning their paintings back for this special exhibition.”
