I remember The Gallery as a strong critical influence on the prevailingclimate.By lacing serious purpose with gentle humour its announcement cards and exhibitions helped to define the issues of the day. Sir Nicholas Serota As regards the operation of The Gallery during the 1970s, it seemed tome to make an extremely important contribution to what was happeningin London at the time. Certainly I always found it extremely stimulatingand important in my own development as an art dealer in terms of thequestions that it forced one to ask oneself. Anthony d'Offay I liked coming a lot to The Gallery because things were unexpected, illuminating, different and ultimately influential. Marina Vaizey I remember the time with great nostalgia.
