2011 Gala Auction

Below, you have the opportunity to bid on three original pieces of art by Wilmington’s artistic prodigy, George Popcheptsov.  Popcheptsov, currently a freshman at Harvard University, started to paint at 17 months old, 6 months before he started to talk. The self-taught artist is compared by the press to a rising Picasso. His paintings sell for up to $200,000 in museums and galleries worldwide.  He has appeared in Time Magazine, The New York Times and has been on the Oprah Show.  His commissions include Colin Powell, Hillary Clinton, Michael Jordan, “Harry Potter” and the United Nations.  His foundation has donated more than $5 million through his artwork and he supports numerous charities, including the Carousel Center, annually.
