Note:
Frank Avray Wilson was possibly the first artist in Britain to create works in a Abstract Expressionist or Tachiste manner, his canvases characterised by pure colour and an 'allover' approach. In 1956 Frank Avray Wilson founded the New Vision Centre Gallery in London, alongside fellow artists Denis Bowen and Halima Nalecz. The gallery ran from 1956-66 exhibiting artists that would go on to international recognition, such as Aubrey Williams, Heinz Mack and Enrico Castellani and was one of the first spaces in Britain to display works by artists from the British Commonwealth and of non-Western origins. The New Visions Gallery Archive is now held by The Tate.
