A unique collection of autographs and artwork by celebrities and notable figures including pop stars, artists, sports personalities, actors, authors, comedians, designers. The collection was put together by the late Karen Gammon and began life as her contribution to a Millennium Art Exhibition designed to raise money for a number of different charities (nominated by the celebrities). Karen sent a button to each celebrity and asked them to design a piece of art around it. Many of the designs are appropriate for the figure in question and represent the very thing they are famous for. The collection includes: J. K. Rowling (who has sketched three silhouettes flying around her button on broomsticks, one clearly being Harry Potter wearing a scarf); Mary Fedden RA (who has sketched a cat holding her button in a flower); Sir Paul McCartney (who has produced a humorous cartoon with the button as a nose); Dame Elizabeth Blackadder RA (who has used her buttons in a vibrant watercolour drawing of a lizard); Sir Stirling Moss (who has turned his button into a steering wheel); Grayson Perry RA (who has turned his buttons into figures being hanged); Mary Quant (who has incorporated her button into a sketch of a dress); Antony Gormley RA (who has drawn a tiny figure holding up his button); Lord Lichfield (self-portrait taking a photograph with the button as his camera); Nick Park (who has drawn a cartoon of Gromit with the button as his nose); Ronnie Barker (who has used his padlock button in a gag about his wife's handbag); Anthony Green RA (who has incorporated his button into a self-portrait); Phil Collins (who has turned his button into a drum kit); Sir Nicholas Serota (who has depicted his button on a Tate Modern plinth); Dick Francis (who has drawn a horse & jockey jumping over his button); Sir David Jason (who has doodled a wall with 'Del Boy woz 'ere'). The collection, which has been framed, comes with separate paperwork and consent forms relating to the acquisition of the autographs (often signed again), and even press/publicity photographs (many of which are again signed), together with numerous copies of a book that was produced to illustrate and explain the collection, 'Celebrity Button Art - An A to Z of Celebrity Mini Masterpieces', 2010 (with foreword by Bonnie Tyler). In her introduction, Karen states, 'Why art around a button you may ask? I needed a common starting point yet something that would inspire the creation of a mini masterpiece without directing or inhibiting the artist too much. I needed something that was seemingly insignificant by itself but would become an integral part of an imaginative spark of inspiration.' The collection is arranged alphabetically in 41 frames, each frame housing six cards bearing autograph/button, each card measuring 10.5cm by 7cm (the entire frame measuring 41cm by 31cm); the paperwork/consent forms are housed in six box files; the Celebrity Button Art books/catalogues are housed in three card boxesOther artwork/autographs include: Joss Ackland; Jenny Agutter; Peter Amory; Lord Archer; Colin Baker; Jeff Banks; Linda Barker; Sue Barker; Roy Barraclough; Keith Barron; Michael Barrymore; Dame Shirley Bassey; Marquess of Bath; Jeremy Beadle; David Begbie; Sir Tim Berners-Lee; Stephen Beveridge; Maeve Binchy; Roger Black; Honor Blackman; Raymond Blanc; Brenda Blethyn; Patti Boulaye; Peter Bowles; Norman Bowman; Michael Brandon; Sir Richard Branson; Richard Briers; Fern Britton; Pierce Brosnan; Amanda Burton; Jeb Bush; Darcey Bussell; Max Bygraves; Simon Callow; Dame Barbara Cartland; Emma Chambers; Linford Christie; Petula Clark; Granville 'Danny' Clark; Sacha Baron Cohen; Graham Cole; Jackie Collins; Joan Collins; Sir Henry Cooper; Jonathan Cope; David Copperfield; Sir Patrick Cormack; John Craven; Michael Crawford; Bernard Cribbins; Wendy Dagworthy; Jim Dale; Paul Daniels; Alan Davies; Graham Davis; Steve Davis; Dame Judi Dench; Charlie Dimmock; Anita Dobson; Ken Dodd; Deborah Drew; Noel Edmonds; David Essex; Trevor Eve; Mohamed Al Fayed; Sarah (Ferguson), Duchess of York; Anna Ford; Frederick Forsyth; Edward Fox; Paul Franks; Chris Ferdiani; Ben Freeman; Dawn French; Ant Fry; Stephen Fry; Lesley Garrett; William Gaunt; Uri Geller; Susan Georeg; John Glenn; Hannah Gordon; David Gower; Robson Green; Bob Grose; Lloyd Grossman; Gareth Hale; Christine Hamilton; Neil Hamilton; Susan Hampshire; Nick Hancock; John Hannah; Ainsley Harriott; Tony Hart; Nigel Havers; Sir Nigel Hawthorne; Sir Jack Hayward; Tim Healy; David Hedison; Lenny Henry; Jack Higgins; Harry Hill; Katy Hill; Ian Hislop; Peter Howson; Roy Hudd; Patrick Hughes; Gareth Hunt; Konnie Huq; John Inman; Glenda Jackson; Sir Derek Jacobi; Sue Johnston; Lesley Joseph; Handy Andy Kane; Sam Kane; Kevin Keegan; Penelope Keith; Matthew Kelly; Ian Kelsey; Felicity Kendal; Alex Kingston; Michael Kitchen; Jack Klugman; Nick Knowles; Twiggy Lawson; John Le Carre; Jay Leno; Gary Lineker; Desmond Llewelyn;Laurence Llewelyn Bowen; Andrew Logan; Joanna Lumley; Cherie Lunghi; Linda Lusardi; Simon MacCorkindale; Aggie Mackenzie; Mary Elizaebth Mastrantonio; Ally McCoist; Martine McCutcheon; Debbie McGee, Ewan McGregor; Anne McKevitt; Ian McShane; George Melly; Alessandro Mendini; Sarah Miles; Stuart Miles; Albert II, Sovereign Prince of Monaco; Sir Patrick Moore; Desmond Morris; Dame Peggy Mount; Bill Mundy; Nina Nannar; Paul Nicholas; Bill Nighy; John Noakes; Graham Norton; Daniel O'Donnell; Paul O'Grady; Jamie Oliver; Tamzin Outhwaite; Nick Owen; Norman Pace; Jane Packer; Cesar Pelli; Marti Pellow; Gervase Phinn; Jonathan Pryce; Suzi Quatro; Gary Rhodes; Anneka Rice; Sir Cliff Richard; Fay Ripley; William Roache; Anne Robinson; Tamara Rojo; Michel Roux; Phillip Schofield; Jenny Seagrove; Martin Shaw; Tessa Shaw; Jeremy Sheffield; Frank Skinner; Carol Smilie; Nicholas Smith; Jeremy Spake; Tommy Steele; Clive Swift; Chris Tarrant; Gwen Taylor; Simon Thomas; Emma Thompson; Linda Thorson; Alan Titchmarsh; Oliver Tobias; Richard Todd; Philip Treacy; Bonnie Tyler; Rory Underwood; Phil Vickery; Carol Vorderman; Rick Wakeman; Karen Walker; Tommy Walsh; Julie Walters; Zoe Wanamaker; John Wardley; Paul Warriner; Pete Waterman; Ruby Wax; Denise Welch; Anthony Whishaw RA; Richard Whiteley; Quentin Wilson; Gary WIlmot; Sir Norman Wisdom; Sir Terry Wogan; Victoria Wood; Kim Woodburn; Michael York; Susannah York; Paul Zenon; Patti Boulaye; Emma Chambers; Jackie Collins; Steve Davies; Trevor Eve; John Glenn; Paul Merton; Hilary Neiland; Dame Diana Rigg
