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.
IAP Fine Art holds the artistic estate of Chris Gollon (1953 - 2017), having had the pleasure of working with Chris and representing him since 1994.
In 1998, we began publishing prints with Maggi Hambling to raise money for Terrence Higgins Trust, and we also hold for sale a collection of her original paintings. In addition, we have works by other established names such as David Hockney, Howard Hodgkin, 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 co-curate exhibitions in cathedrals and in national museums. We are currently assisting a television production company make the documentary Chris Gollon: Life in Paint, featuring interviews with Thurston Moore, Maggi Hambling, Yi Yao, Eleanor McEvoy and Sara Maitland, among others.
