The Grosvenor Gallery Exhibitions: Change and

Christopher Newall tells the story of the rise and fall of the Grosvenor Gallery, the most progressive exhibition space of the Victorian age. The paintings and works of art shown there challenged artistic convention and were the cause of virulent debate about the means and purpose of modern art, while the very existence of a gallery that attracted so much fashionable attention and that lent such great prestige to the artists who exhibited there served to overthrow the stultifying influence of the contemporary Royal Academy.
