We are very excited to have Alexandr Onishenko’s artwork back in our auction this year. He has generously donated three high quality digital prints on canvas:

  • Tram: A highly acclaimed painting of an old-fashioned Prague tram.
  • Cafe Slavia: This Cafe was known as a place for writers, poets and other intellectuals to meet and discuss their ideas. Vaclav Havel was a regular patron.
  • Clouds on a Sunny Day: This painting is a view from Onishenko’s atelier which is situated on the top of the hill in Melnik-Chloumek, near Prague.

Onishenko applies by hand a coating to the prints to give the reproductions the look and feel of the originals. He is photographed below signing the canvases for the Charity Gala.

GolfLab Academy and AimPoint Technologies have once again kindly donated two golf instruction packages. Each package consists of two 90 minute sessions with GolfLab’s A.J. McAdam.

The Art of Green Reading and Putter Fitting 

In this first package, A.J. will do an advanced fitting session using a state of the art fitting tool and fitting system to find the optimal putter. Using the right putter can quickly improve a player’s performance level on the greens. This system has been used by players like Justin Rose, Lee Westwood and Darren Clarke.

Player Biomechanics and Swing Efficiency 

For package two, A.J. will use state of the art 3D technology, developed by K-Motion Interactive, to analyse player biomechanics and swing efficiency.

The player can find simple solutions to combine more power and control in their game, without completely changing the uniqueness of their style. They can also uncover tendencies that cause inconsistent results.

ARTĚL has donated an exquisite set of Sea Life tumblers to this year’s auction.  

ARTĚL’s fascination with the aquatic life – ironic, given that they are based in a land-locked nation – is perhaps best expressed in this detailed motif. Each of the shapes in this collection features a choice of six delightfully stylised sea creatures ranging from jellyfish to octopi.
