A 1970s colour photo of an open-air art sale on the pavement of Piccadilly during the latter half of the 20th century. Dozens of framed landscape paintings are hooked onto the black iron railings that border Green Park, with the high stone wall of the Buckingham Palace gardens visible in the background and Constitution Hill running away to the left behind the dense summer trees. In the centre, two men in early-seventies office attire—one in a dark suit and the other in a light blue shirt and beige trousers—lean in to inspect a small canvas. To the right, a diverse crowd of pedestrians and potential buyers, including children and a man in a brown leather jacket with flared trousers, stroll along the wide stone-flagged pavement. This popular weekly art market, a long-standing tradition on the edge of Green Park, captures the vibrant cultural life of London’s West End in 1972.
