The aforementioned 14 portraits of historic figures connected to Bristol's medical heritage, sold by the NHS University Hospitals Bristol Foundation Trust, realised a total of £8,330 (hammer price) at Clevedon Salerooms yesterday.
Unfortunately, I was away from my laptop yesterday and didn't have time to post this statement from Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity, the official NHS charity for the Trust:
A spokesperson from Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity said: “The charity held a collection of heritage assets, such as paintings and furniture, which had been generously donated over the years. While the Trust is very grateful for these donations, they were unable to find a permanent home for them at their hospitals.
“In partnership with UHBW, we made the decision to auction these assets with the proceeds being used to fund projects within the Trust, with a particular focus on supporting arts and culture in the hospitals.”
