This is your opportunity to bid exclusively for Gary Moore's personally signed 10 foot Gibson Les Paul replica guitar. The giant fibre glass guitar called "Bluesprint" was designed by the visual artist Sujo Remi and was displayed publicly around London on London's South Bank by City Hall, SE1 between June 2007 to September 2007 attracting over 2.5 million visitors.

All money raised from the sale of the guitars at auction will be split equally between the three designated charities.

Description of piece and artists.

Car spray paint with enamel, wax finish on fibre glass, signed by Gary Moore

3100 mm by 1070 mm

Sujo Remi is a collaboration between two artists, whose identities are a closely guarded secret. Over the last four years, Sujo has produced two series of modular rearrangable paintings, 'By Any Other Name' and 'Not In My Name'. Other work has included 'Tate Brighton', a miniature gallery, and 'You Are What You Do', a video installation.

We were attracted to the Gibson Guitartown London project because manipulation of scale and elements of identity are recurring themes in our work. Our design is taken from Gary Moore's fingerprints ( middle finger, right hand), on his own Gibson Les Paul Guitar. And, if anyone wants to know who Sujo Remi is, our fingerprints are on there too.
