Art dealer and collector Kasmin and Nicholas Serota, Director of Tate discuss the display with the biographer and cultural historian Fiona MacCarthy. Set up in the 1960s The Kasmin Gallery was revolutionary in style and played a key role in changing the way art was presented, discussed and sold in London. It was the first to represent David Hockney and display Anthony Caro’s abstract sculpture, while also working with major American abstract painters, from Kenneth Noland to Frank Stella.
