In the 1960s London became a vibrant hub of artistic production. Post-war reconstruction, jet air travel, television arts programmes, colour supplements, a generation of young artists, dealers and curators, the influx of international film companies, the projection of 'creative Britain' as a national brand - all nurtured and promoted the emergence of London as 'a new capital of art.' Extensively illustrated and researched, this book offers an unprecedented, rich account of the social field that constituted the lively London scene of the 1960s.
