About the Item
114,000,000 Refugees. Cate Blanchett Goodwill Ambassador to UNHCR Addressing European Parliament
Cate Blanchett, Goodwill Ambassador for UNHCR addressed the European Parliament on the topic of refugees throughout the world. The numbers are astronomical, almost unthinkable in scale. Berlin cares passionately about the fate of man and the issues which are affecting the planet, particularly wars and the displacement of people. Throughout the summer he has been creating stunning sand drawings to bring this concern to a wider audience. These temporary drawings, at the mercy of the great Atlantic tides, have attracted many visitors to the beaches in Cornwall where they brought messages of hope and awareness and attracted a host of comments. As Berlin was walking home after creating a sand art work a car pulled up alongside him, it was Cate Blanchett who thanked him for creating the work. He said"You like that?" and she replied "Yeah", "You're welcome" was his response. This brief exchange sparked Berlin to create a lasting record of Blanchett's address to the European Parliament and help bring that unbelievable statistic to an even wider audience. This Neo-Expressionist painting is both tribute to those people like Cate Blanchett and organisations like UNHCR who strive every day to make in- roads into this sea of displaced people, and a clarion call to all of us in global society to have compassion for those less fortunate.

Sax Berlin
We are privileged to sell works on behalf of Sax Berlin. Sax, arguably the finest exponent of 21st Century Classicism, has devoted his life to absorbing the culture of art and architecture in Europe, Asia
North America. He is undoubtedly a genius of our times and one of the great secrets of modern art. When one reviews his oeuvre, 10 distinct
separate styles emerge, displaying Berlin’s mastery of his subject. In fact only Picasso has achieved this height of genius. His students and collectors call him “The Master”. Berlin is a unique artist, using techniques mastered during his studies; ranging from antiquity through the medieval and Renaissance to the present; he creates the visual outcomes he wants and that delight collectors. The paintings Berlin has created in his New York, Greek and Cornish studios are of museum quality and are rarely seen in Art Sales offering a combination of beautiful artworks and investment opportunity. Harvard University refer to him as a Master Artist. The President of the Asia Society on Park Avenue, NYC wrote to Berlin that “your work is beautiful” and Bernard Faure, Professor of Asia Studies at Columbia University wrote “your icons really do have a life of their own”. Sax Berlin is a modern Master Painter in the truest sense of the term and follows in the footsteps of the Great Masters of the past.
