The Transvangarde

This show represents the culmination of twenty-one years of work by the October Gallery in seeking out and promoting those artists from around the world who, as well as representing the forefront of their own particular cultures, are, at the same time, alive to the shifting currents of other cultures and to the development of a trans-national and truly global culture.
