The Times suggested on 22 April 2006: "Of the country's two major annual portrait exhibitions, the BP Portrait Awards at the National Portrait Gallery in June might be better known, but the one at the Royal Society is surely the more glittering, as it is to the society that many of the country's powerful institutions go to commission portraits of their leaders."

lower, really marvellous and rather haunting."

Charity Auction

The Lighthouse Gala Auction

"Fagan's Fortune" by Nigel Cox was Auctioned for Charity making �4,200.- for the Terrence Higgins Trust.

The Lighthouse Gala Auction is one of London's most successful charity auctions. It is held each March in the stunning Great Rooms of Christie's, St James's.Only at the Lighthouse Gala Auction could you bid for a counselling session with Joan Rivers, a date with George Michael, lunch with Jackie Collins, tea with Jeffrey Archer, or a shopping spree with Joanna Lumley.
Art lover? Take your pick from original works by Damian Hirst, Tracey Emin, Patrick Lichfield, Wolfgang Tillmans, Mario Testino and Nigel Cox.
For pure fun-seekers there's been pole dancing and flying trapeze lessons, nude portrait commissions, and the chance to fritter away the services of your own personal butler for the day.
Over the last 10 years we have seen some fabulous and unique lots come under the hammer at the Lighthouse Gala Auction. Its reputation as an outrageously entertaining event has secured its place as a fixture in the calendars of the good and the glamorous. The auction has raised nearly �2 million for our services for people living with, and affected by, HIV and AIDS.
