Stations of the Cross by Sara Maitland
Continuum Books in London & New York has published award-winning novelist Sara Maitland's book entitled 'Stations of the Cross', which is solely a book of her reflections on Chris Gollon's paintings of the Stations of the Cross. Unveiled by the Bishop of London, this powerful and moving series of paintings were installed permanently in the Church of St John on Bethnal Green in spring 2009, transforming this historic church, designed by Sir John Soane and located adjacent to the Museum of Childhood, into a major visitor attraction in East London.
To celebrate the launch of this exciting new book in both UK and USA, and to celebrate the culmination of 9 years work by Chris Gollon, as his paintings are finally installed, IAP Fine Art has created a unique Collectors' Edition of 100 (signed book + print). We have agreed with Sara and Chris that there will be just 100 of the books signed by them both and numbered 1/100 - 100/100. To go with these in a Collectors' Edition we published with Chris Gollon, and master printmakers Ian & Jan Wilkinson at the Goldmark Atelier, a simple hand-drawn and hand-printed A4-size silk-screen print, entitled 'Study for the Crucifixion', in an edition of only 100.
The signed books and signed silk-screen prints have been packaged together to commemorate this historic moment (they will not be sold separately). Sara Maitland's book will be the first publication to reproduce all 14 Stations of the Cross by Chris Gollon. The silk-screen print which Chris has produced is a simple, powerful and moving single-line image of the Crucifixion on a coloured ground.
Each book/print from the Collectors Edition of 100 is available at £175 + £15 p&p. To purchase, or for further information, please contact: IAP Fine Art, London. T: 0844 561 1833 (where you may also purchase using the interest-free Own Art scheme), or visit LXV Books.
