Maggi Hambling first met Derek Jarman when both were at art school in the 1960's, 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 great 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 loaned to the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. This edition of signed screenprints was produced in close collaboration with the artist, and not only enables people to see and own one of her greatest portraits; but also raises much needed funds for THT, helping people with HIV and AIDS. Please note that these unique editions are all individually signed by the artist and supplied in a frame designed by Maggi Hambling (click on thumbnail to view). The price includes the frame and VAT and £75.00 from the sale of every print is donated to the Terence Higgins Trust. Total worldwide edition is 250.
