The essays explore how international artists and the rise of alternative venues, publications, and exhibitions, along with a growing mobilization of artists around political and cultural issues ranging from feminism to democracy, pushed the boundaries of the London art scene beyond the West End’s familiar galleries and posed a radical challenge to established modes of making and understanding art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngaging, wide-ranging, and original, \u003cem\u003eLondon Art Worlds\u003c\/em\u003e provides a necessary perspective on the visual culture of the London art scene in the 1960s and ’70s.
