2: LGBT+ History Month: featured artworks from the City’s Collection

17 Feb 2021

In the second post marking LGBTQ+ History Month, we’re sharing The First Dragon by Maggi Hambling, chosen by former chair of Stonewall, Jan Gooding.

 

“I’m choosing Maggi Hambling’s ‘First Dragon’ sculpture to represent me. It is a stunning piece I would love to own. Maggi is not only one of our most cherished British artists, but has also been a role model and activist for gay rights. She supported Stonewall from the outset.

Her work is distinct, moving and energetic… fierce – like her”
