This is a commemorative POAP in celebration of the 1 year anniversary of the HENI Discord.

This digital token is issued exclusively to attendees of the HENI Art Club event The Artist As A Transgressive Witness To History. Dr Brad Evans, Professor of Political Violence & Aesthetics at the University of Bath, considers the importance of art in terms of providing a transgressive witnessing to history, calling upon some of the most influential names from art history, including Goya and his infamous Disasters of War series, and Jake & Dinos Chapman’s later ‘rectification’ of these works, Francis Bacon, and Mark Rothko.

This digital token is issued exclusively to attendees of the HENI Art Club’s Collecting Masterclass: Prints and Multiples. The digital talk from James Baskerville, Head of Sale for 21st Century and Banksy Editions at Christie’s, covered prints from the Renaissance through to contemporary, providing key insights into contemporary printmaking. James discussed the different types of print, what makes a quality work, and top tips on starting or building your own collection.

A POAP for attending the HENI Art Club event ‘Full of Nervous Life’: Rediscovering Keith Cunningham. Dr Laura Spada will introduce us to the life and work of Cunningham. We will explore his powerful paintings, whose strokes of dark pigments convey intensely expressive forms, finding differences and similarities with the contemporary output of major English painters of the time.

A POAP received for attending the HENI Art Club event Bacon in Moscow, organised on the occasion of the publication of James Birch’s new memoir of the same name. Rowan Pelling, journalist, broadcaster, writer and stand-up comedian, joined Birch to divulge the scandals, triumphs and lows faced throughout the book, making for a funny and insightful telling of this artistic adventure at a time of political upheaval.

A POAP received for attending the HENI Art Club event James Fox: The World According to Colour. Dr James Fox, an award-winning, BAFTA-nominated, broadcaster, Cambridge art historian, writer, public speaker and curator, has teamed up with the HENI Art Club to deliver a talk about the history and cultural significance of colour.

This very first HENI POAP was issued exclusively for visitors of the exhibition Damien Hirst, ‘Sunshine (Complex Relationships Explained Simply)’, at Claridge’s London, presented by HENI. The exhibition also marked the first ever show in the new art space of Claridge’s.
