Executive decision this.
Upon receipt of an “enveloping” bid from a fan of Tracy’s sculptural talents, the charity auction for the hand-crafted Vampire Squid is hereby cancelled.
The prospective owner, who wishes to remain anonymous, wants to take the Squid away before the weekend, and was willing (and able) to pay through the nose…
Room to Read, the charity being supported in this year’s FT seasonal appeal, will be the beneficiary.
Thanks to all those who posted so many generous bids.
