Happy Snaps Nigel Greenwood may not be a name you

instantly recognise, but his influence is evident

in art galleries across the capital. In the early

1970s, galleries dedicated to international

art – particularly European – were hard to

come by, but Greenwood’s was among the

few introducing emerging international artists

from different walks of life to London. In a

new exhibition, Nigel Greenwood Inc Ltd:

running a picture gallery, the dealer’s 41

Sloane Gardens space will be remembered

with a look back at his archive. Landmark

shows from decades past and publications by Gilbert & George, Bernd and Hilla Becher and Rita

Donagh (to name a few), will be thrown into the limelight at Chelsea Space.

8 June-15 July, Chelsea Space, 16 John Islip Street, SW1P, chelseaspace.org
