Rebecca Hossack was born in Melbourne in 1955. She came to England in the early Eighties to study for the bar at Lincoln’s Inn, but abandoned the law for a career in Art. Having studied at Christies and worked at the Guggenheim in Venice, she set up her own gallery – in Windmill Street, Fitzrovia – in March 1988.
The gallery thrived. It has gained a reputation both for championing Aboriginal and Non Western Art, and for exhibiting contemporary ‘Western’ artists of rare individual vision. The gallery’s on going success is a vindication of Hossack’s boldness, eye, energy and commitment.

‘It is easy to be overwhelmed by Rebecca Hossack...She is straight from a kabuki Morte Darthur – over six feet tall, dramatically swathed in black Issey Miyake pleats. She delights in making things happen – exhibitions, sculpture gardens, riverside events, reputations.’
John Walsh of the Independent.
