The owners of the Scrapbook are willing to offer it to the Sausalito community for a fixed price of $8000 = approx. $160 per image.

If the funds are not secured by the end of Janurary, the Lost Album will be put on auction.

If the Album is put on auction, the Jean Varda Project will bid on it with the funds raised. If it is obtained, it will be donated to the Sausalito Historical Society. If it is not obtained, funds will be returned.

The biggest reason Jean Varda might be forgotten as an artist is that the Bay Area has no collective body of his work. Varda's collages are dispersed throughout California and other parts of the world in private homes.

Obtaining the Lost Album with 50+ original, one-of-a-kind paintings and drawings by Jean Varda from 1939-1940 is an opportunity to honor that wonderful human being.

To prevent the Lost Album from being forgotten by it being sold to a private collector, I am trying to obtain it for a non-profit organization for the use and pleasure of all.

This project includes raising funds from the community to obtain the Lost Album.

THANK YOU
Also, call or write your Supervisor, the City Council, the Arts Commission and the Sausalito Historical Society to thank them for supporting this project!
