Victoria Miro opened a gallery in December 1985 during a punk-inspired cultural moment in London, specifically on Cork Street, a conservative art epicenter. Despite a backlash from the punk community, Miro showcased a dedication to contemporary art that has only strengthened over 40 years. As part of a celebration for her anniversary, an exhibit featuring works from her stable is set, including pieces created specifically for the show. Artists like Isaac Julien and Chris Ofili have expressed admiration for Miro's unwavering support and kindness, highlighting her role as a true champion of art.
"From the beginning, I could see she was remarkably generous and kind. Victoria is more than a gallerist: she is a true champion of artists." - Isaac Julien
"I have always felt out of place opening on Cork Street when London had very few galleries supporting contemporary art, but I never followed trends." - Victoria Miro
