Summer 2017 Round-Up Our Top Highlights As the penultimate chapter of summer is slowly coming to an end (*sigh*). We thought we would round-up and reflect back on some of our top highlights that took place this summer. We also have very exciting news to share for our upcoming plans and projects for Autumn 2017.  Make sure you stay tuned for more announcements!  David Bowie "UNSEEN" by Tony McGee at Warner Music Group UK Tony McGee's solo show David Bowie "UNSEEN" travelled to Warner Music Group HQ! The event was a huge success with a great turn out. It was also an absolute honour to have the show exhibited at the infamous multinational entertainment and record label. Warner Music is in fact the home of David Bowie's music catalogue (except for the last four albums). It was also a fantastic opportunity to hear Tony McGee's stories of Bowie in the exclusive Q&A with Julian Stockton (journalist and publicist for David Bowie).  Q&A with Tony McGee and Julian Stockton Tony McGee's David Bowie Photograph Featured in the Midsummer Ball  Held at Banqueting House in London on 7th June 2017, Simon Cowell hosted a spectacular Midsummer Ball for Together for Short Livesto support and help the UK's most seriously ill children and their families. This year, the ball raised a staggering amount of £165,000,00! Furthermore, Simon Cowell bought the Tony McGee, David Bowie Warms Up photograph featured in our exhibition!  Tony McGee, David Bowie Warms Up (1990) View David Bowie "UNSEEN" Online Catalogue Oliver Dunsch Wins Photography Competition at Mayfair & St. James's Summer Garden Party  In June, we exhibited at the Mayfair & St. James's Summer Garden Party, which took place at Mount Street Gardens.

Nick Waplington, No Light Only Darkness Visible II Enquire About Nick Waplington Artworks New Mural by Stik in New York  Paying tribute to the generations of migrant communities who have made the Lower East Manhattan their home, British street artist Stikhas created 'Migrant', a seven storey mural depicting a figure emerging nervously onto Allen Street, also known as Avenue of Immigrants. The figure, painted in Stik's signature six lines and two dots for eyes is an everyman, highlighting our universal need to be accepted.   'Migrant' by Stik in New York Rich Simmons is the Artist Behind Croydon's Princess Diana Mural  Speculation was rife online with debate about the authenticity of the new Princess Diana Muraland whether it could be by the notorious Banksy. However, Croydon-based artist Rich Simmons, is in fact the mastermind behind the new mural of Princess Diana. The artist explains the meaning behind the piece: "Princess Diana is locked away in the tower waiting for her prince but the only people chasing her are the paparazzi." Rich Simmons has also created a canvas version of the Princess Diana mural in order to show the details on canvas, since the tower piece is 12 metres high!  Rich Simmons, Princess Diana Mural  Enquire About Rich Simmons Canvas Autumn 2017 Announcements Imitate Modern at the Moniker Art Fair 2017 We are very excited to be participating at the Moniker Art Fair second year in a row!
