NAB A NEW PIECE OF ART

The collection includes 71 pieces of art, including Tracey Emin’s blue and white neon ‘I’m a Rare Bear’; the original dachshund linocut designed for George by Hugo Guinness which became the club’s logo; a selection of prints and exhibition posters by David Hockney; ski and travel posters by Emil Cardinaux; photographs by Slim Aarons; and drawings by E.H.
