Goodbye Great Newport Street

About

This display celebrates our time at Great Newport Street through a selection of posters from past exhibitions and projects. The Photographers' Gallery opened its doors at 8 Great Newport Street on 14 January 1971 with a group exhibition entitled The Concerned Photographer. Thirty-seven years and hundreds of exhibitions later, the Gallery will leave its current premises at 5 and 8 Great Newport Street and relocate to the other side of Soho at 16 - 18 Ramillies Street from November 2008. From seminal group shows to photographers' first-time exhibitions, this material offers an insight into the breadth of work shown at The Photographers' Gallery since its beginnings, as well as presenting a unique slice of photographic culture in the UK.
