We have recently acquired a series of screenprints by John Walker created in 1969, and not seen since they were shown by Nigel Greenwood in his central London gallery in the 1970's.
They are a group of five prints, called the Headingley Series. The prints are based on a large six metre painting called "Lesson" from the year before, which is now in the Tate's permanent collection (see "Lesson" above).
This series also hint at his later 1970's paintings which were notable for the "canvas collage' technique: here the artist applied glued-on, separately painted patches of canvas to the main canvas.
The 5 screen prints are available separately or as a set of five (with the same number in the edition for each print). They show simlar abstract shapes, with changing elements and colours.
The prints are available now at the gallery, on ZS Editions and will be included in our Summer Print Show.
As we are all using social networking sites more and more, Zimmer Stewart Gallery have now set up a "Zimmer Stewart Gallery" page on Facebook, where you can find out up date information about the gallery, see images from previews and exhibitions and most importantly of all interact with us and others.
This page is for you to let us know what you think about the current shows, and discuss art related matters with others.

We look forward to hearing your views.
From 1-7 September, we will hold our second London exhibition of work by Felix Anaut, this time in the heart of Chelsea at the Fairfax Gallery, Park Walk.
The exhibition will be opened by Dame Diana Rigg and show new paintings and the painted ceramics, created in conjucntion with Ceramica Abio from Spain.
In addition we will hold the UK launch of a tri-lingual book on Felix Anaut's life and work to date. The author is the European art collector, Michael Simonow, whose extensive and important collection is on permanent loan to the Abbaye Flaran, in the Gers, South West France. The book on Felix Anaut will add to a number of books and catalogues written by Mr Simonow.
We are very pleased to announce that for the second year in a row, the Zimmer Stewart Gallery has been shortlisted for the Observer Business Awards in the "Innovation" category.
The credit crunch in 2009 presented many issues for businesses generally and we were no exception. With the prospect of falling sales, fewer customers and less footfall we decided to tackle the problem had on and innovate.
This involved adding a new product range to our mix: original artist prints. These were shown for the first time in an extended Summer Exhibition.
The results exceeded all our expectations, we attracted both new customers and existing ones returned - sales were up year on year.
The innovation worked so well that we have now established a second website where clients can browse and buy artist prints safely and securely. We hope that this will broaden our reach even further.
