The Abbey Arts Centre

The Abbey Arts Centre

The Abbey Art centre and Museum is located at 89 Park Road, New Barnet, Hertfordshire, England, EN4 9QX.

It was originally owned by William Ohley, an art dealer who ran the Berkley Galleries in Davies Street, London.

The Abbey attracted many expatriate Australian artists to its doors during the post war years 1947 - 1951. It became an early base of operations for artists, trying to gain a foothold in London's contemporary art industry.

Australian artists who stayed at the Abbey Art Center included: Noel Counihan, Leonard French, James Gleeson, Peter Graham, Douglas Green, [http://www.users.bigpond.com/c.nodrum/HALPERN_Stacha/HALPERN.html Stacha Halpern] , Grahame King, Robert Klippel and Bernard Smith
