Works permanently on display will be new paintings by Chris Gollon, and also a screenprint by Maggi Hambling of her ‘Portrait of Derek Jarman’ . To celebrate the new premises, IAP will be offering 10% off the unframed price of each screenprint sold before May 31st 2003. But hurry as over half the edition of 250 has already sold, and £50 from every sale is donated to the Terrence Higgins Trust.

Maggi Hambling is a household name in British contemporary art. She was the First Artist in Residence at the National Gallery, London (1980-81). Her paintings have been collected by many museums including the Tate Gallery, National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery. Her acclaimed public statue of Oscar Wilde was unveiled next to Trafalgar square in 1998. Maggi first met Derek Jarman when both were at art school in the 1960s, and they became close friends. Filmmaker Derek Jarman achieved great acclaim for films such as Carravagio and Blue; but he was also a champion of gay rights, as well as being an accomplished painter, writer and garden designer.

Although Derek Jarman had been suffering from AIDS for some time, his actual death in 1994 came as a shock. Remarkably, Maggi Hambling painted his portrait from memory three weeks after his death. The painting sold immediately into a private collection, although it was recently loaned to the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. This edition of signed screenprints was produced in close collaboration with the artist, and not only enables more people to see and own one of her greatest portraits; but also raises much-needed funds for THT, helping people with HIV and AIDS.

Screenprints may be ordered online at www.iapfineart.com or by calling 020 8941 8830. The Jarman print and other original works by Maggi Hambling can be viewed and purchased Fridays 12-6, or Saturdays 12-4 from IAP Fine Art at the Artbank Gallery.

Although it's not technically an award it's the nearest we've got to one so far. It's not always easy to get a link on many of the bigger websites because they either ignore you or as in the case of the Guardian Unlimited website they never get round to mentioning you!
