Robert Fraser owned a gallery in London at the height of the Swingin' Sixties, and--as no less than Paul McCartney has said--he all but personified the period for his vast network of friends, fans, and hangers-on.
This book tells Fraser's story through the voices of those friends, including McCartney, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Kenneth Anger, Malcolm McLaren, Bridget Riley, and many more.
An unprecedented close-up of the man who introduced the world to Andy Warhol, Peter Blake, Claes Oldenburg, Keith Haring, and Jean-Michael Basquiat, Groovy Bob brings the '60's London art scene, its wild parties and creative fervor, unforgettably to life.
About author(s): Harriet Vyner is the author of Among Ruins , coauthor of Jools Holland's autobiography, Bare Faced Lies and Boogie Woogie Boasts , and cocurator of a recent exhibition on the life and work of Robert Fraser at Pace London.
