Derek Hirst, Jeff Nuttall, Penelope Slinger, Ian Breakwell, Jeanne Masoero and Nancy Fouts were among the first artists shown in the space; and she presented the first solo exhibition by Tom Phillips in the initial year. Several artists whose work was featured at this time, including duo Boyd & Evans, David Hepher, and John Loker remain represented by the gallery today. The initial exhibitions also included Postcard Show , for which Angela commissioned original works of art to be made into postcards by artists including Joseph Beuys, David Hockney, Richard Hamilton and Peter Blake.  \nThe gallery moved to Portland Mews, Soho in 1971, then to Tottenham Mews in 1978, where it remained for ten years. Angela Flowers continued her pioneering approach to championing under-acknowledged artists through ini at ives such as the still-running programme Artist of the Day , in which participants are selected for a series of one-day exhibitions by a renowned contemporary artist. In 1988 the gallery added an east end venue, Flowers East in Hackney, which was at the time the largest commercial gallery space in London, expanding further in 1991, with two vast exhibition spaces to put on a programme of acclaimed thematic shows, such as The Thatcher Years , and Contemporary Portraits , in which Angela placed work by well-known and celebrated artists alongside emerging names. By 1989, her son Matthew Flowers, who had worked at the gallery since 1975 became Managing Director, working closely together. The east end space subsequently moved to Shoreditch in the 2000s alongside the opening of the current west end space on Cork Street, Mayfair.  \nFrom 1998 Flowers Gallery expanded internationally, opening in Los Angeles at Santa Monica’s Bergamot Station Arts Center. Its US operations moved to New York in 2003, initially uptown on Madison Avenue, and then in 2009 to Chelsea where it remained for 10 years. In 2020, a new space was opened in central Hong Kong to coincide with the 50 year anniversary of the gallery. During this half-century milestone, two  \nAngela Flowers at the Lisle Street gallery, 1970, photograph © Adrian Flowers Archive  \nLondon exhibitions (50 x 50 and Fifty Years) celebrated the gallery history of more than 900 exhibitions, and representation of more than 50 international artists and artist’s estates.  \nAlongside the galleries, Angela began staging seasonal exhibitions out of her longtime, beloved home in Rosscarbery, West Cork, Ireland in 1985, with an inaugural exhibition by William Crozier and subsequent shows by arists including Nicola Hicks. The summer programme at Rosscarbery ran nearly every summer for 15 years, with occasional exhibitions produced until recent years.  \nAngela Mary Flowers (née Holland) was born in Croydon, UK in December 1932. She attended the Webber Douglas School of Singing and Dramatic Art in London, and was an accomplished musician, with initial plans for a career as a singer.
