Gollon At Henley (Final Version)

This major work was commissioned by the award-winning River & Rowing Museum, Henley on Thames, and kindly sponsored by Beefeater and The American Friends of Rowing. It is now part of the Museum's permanent collection, alongside Raoul Dufy's 'Regatta At Henley', and works by Whistler, Trevelyan and Piper. Gollon researched the commission at Regatta 2007, and completed the work in early May 2008. The completed commissioned work was unveiled in the sell-out exhibition also entitled 'Gollon At Henley' at the Museum 10 May - 6 July 2008, where the silk-screen print studies, painting studies and research photographed were shown together. Chris Gollon chose to focus on the beauty and pain of sport, by depicting the losing team. See Commissions page for further details.

The work may also tour to museums in the USA, and be used to promote the 2012 Olympics. (details to follow...)

A number of prints from the 4 editions of silk-screen print studies for this commission remain available, see Prints for Sale for details.
