Art Criticism and Display.

<p>In September 1972 three graduates rented two floors above a cash and carry warehouse at 65a Lisson Street West London. After a couple of months one emptied his studio the first floor front room and opened the space for exhibitions. There followed a spate of invented artists which made humorous comments on the high flown conceptual arena. In 1974 The Gallery strengthened its identity with The Gallery London Displays a series developed with sculptor Vaughan Grylls. The 'non-artist' works featured documentary material in a concise graphic presentation. This led to projects with artists John Latham Rita Donagh Gerald Newman and others. During its five years' operation The Gallery forged an independent history with a remarkable flow of art and events that produced classic statements for their time. </p>
