    Established in 1994 originally in East London, IAP Fine Art is a contemporary art gallery and print publisher,  holding original paintings for sale and fine art prints by leading 20th & 21st century European artists, including Chris Gollon, Maggi Hambling, David Hockney, Barbara Rae and many more.   Our clients are mainly private collectors,  corporate collections and museums.  

     

    Founded by writer, curator and gallery director David Tregunna, as the gallery grew we relocated from Bethnal Green to Chelsea, then to St James’s.  In 2016, we moved our base to Monmouth in the beautiful Wye Valley, however for London-based collectors, we also have a private viewing  space in Spitalfields, London E1. 

     

    We have worked with many museums and public spaces, including the Chisenhale Gallery, Ferens Gallery,  Huddersfield Art Gallery, St Paul's Cathedral and the British Museum.  From 2014 - 2016, we curated ‘Incarnation, Mary and Women from the Bible’, Chris Gollon’s national touring exhibition to English cathedrals, which was featured in The Independent, BBC TV News and on Radio 3's Free Thinking.

     IAP Fine Art holds the artistic estate of Chris Gollon (1953 - 2017), having worked with and represented Chris since 1994. 

     

    In late 2019, we were invited to curate the first museum retrospective of Gollon's music-related works ‘CHRIS GOLLON: Beyond the Horizon’ at the Huddersfield Art Gallery, co-publishing the exhibition catalogue and working with leading writers and musicians, including Thurston Moore, Eleanor McEvoy, Yi Yao, Tamsin Pickeral and Nick Soulsby. For the museum retrospective we made a special recording with Eleanor McEvoy, and a film installation with the Sleaford Mods, using Gollon’s imagery. 

     

    In 1998, we began publishing prints with Maggi Hambling to raise money for Terrence Higgins Trust, and we also hold a collection of Maggi Hambling's original paintings for sale, as well as monotypes and prints. In addition, we have works by other established names such as David Hockney, John Hoyland, Victor Pasmore, Sir Terry Frost and Barbara Rae. Recently we have also enjoyed working with three contemporary talents: artists Julian Penberthy and Chris Friel, master jeweller Paul Hatton and the innovative designer-maker Possible Mirror. 

     

    Our gallery in Monmouth is in the heart of the beautiful Wye Valley (an AONB),  and only 50 minutes from Bristol, Cardiff, Hay-on-Wye and the Cotswolds. We have a programme of exhibitions here, but also help curate exhibitions in national museums, major London galleries and public spaces.

    For two years we have been assisting, with images and archive materials, the makers of the feature-length documentary Chris Gollon: Life in Paint,  featuring interviews with Thurston Moore, Maggi Hambling, Yi Yao, Eleanor McEvoy and Sara Maitland, among others.  It is to be released in autumn 2024.
