Barrett photos will be auctioned for charity

Posted November 2, 2009 by Floydian Slip

Three photos of Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett will be auctioned this month for charity.

The photos were taken in 1969 by Mick Rock for Barrett’s “The Madcap Laughs” album.

Half of the proceeds will go to the Syd Barrett Fund, to benefit art projects and mental health. The fund plans to eventually open the Syd Barrett Centre for Social Arts in Cambridge.

Viewing begins on Nov. 9 at Phillips de Pury Gallery in London. The auction takes place Nov. 21.

You can view the gallery and make a bid at www.phillipsdepury.com.
