Art with Impact:
An Opportunity to Own Jacob’s Ladder
Dee Young’s sumptuous abstract oil landscape, Jacob’s Ladder, first came to our walls during our exploration of “Pattern”. When the rest of the collection was taken down, we loved this painting so much that we could not bear to part with it — and Dee generously allowed us to keep it on display a little longer.
Now, the artist has made an even more generous decision. Originally priced at £890, Dee has chosen to use the sale of Jacob’s Ladder to support a local women’s refuge and is inviting offers for the painting at a reduced price.
We are therefore delighted to invite offers on this striking work. The painting will be sold to the first person to make an offer above the reserve price, and all proceeds from the sale, after deduction of our commission, will go directly to the women’s refuge Dee is supporting.
