Ben Uri is delighted to announce the upcoming exhibition, The Abbey Art Centre as Postwar Refuge, 1946–56, marking the simultaneous publication of The Abbey Art Centre in postwar London 1946–1956, eds., Jane EckeE, Ian McLean and Sheridan Palmer (Routledge), this autumn. The exhibition unfolds the remarkable story of the Abbey Art Centre, a cosmopolitan art colony established at New Barnet in 1946 by charismatic artist, gallerist and world art collector, William Ohly (1883–1955).
