Appeal plans for Feliks Topolski RA's Memoir
The 'Memoir of the 20th Century' is Feliks Topolski’s visual record of the personalities and the social and political events of a century that he witnessed and chronicled during a lifetime spent criss-crossing the five continents. For the past quarter of a century this panoramic 600 foot long diary, donated to the nation by Topolski in 1984, has been exhibited under the railway arches of Hungerford Bridge next to London's Royal Festival Hall. There has been a steady deterioration in the condition of the paintings and the Memoir is in urgent need of refurbishment.
The Trustees of a registered charitable company (number 1103516) are restoring and giving greater access to the Topolski Memoir for future generations. The aim is to create a learning resource centre for artists, students and the general public and to enhance the presentation and interpretation of the Memoir for a 21st century audience. Prominent guest curators in the fields of the arts, politics and journalism will bring fresh ideas inspired by themes drawn from the Memoir, using music, theatre, film and dance to project their own visions of the 20th century. Details of a major APPEAL for public and private funds and tax savings can be seen on the other pages indicated below.
You may make a spontaneous DONATION of any amount (small or large) - just send a cheque to Topolski Memoir Ltd, c/o ABL Cultural Consulting, 31 St Martin’s Lane, London WC2N 4ER.
You may prefer to donate via the Topolski Century and Topolski Memoir registered charitable appeal on the Justgiving web site www.justgiving.com/topolskimemoir
