57 Gallery


The 57 Gallery, later the New 57 Gallery, was an artist-run gallery in Edinburgh, Scotland, from 1957 until 1984.
Among others, the gallery showed the work of Barbara Rae, Jock McFadyen, Eileen Lawrence and John Houston. From 1974 it was based at 29 Market Street, occupying the upper floor. Alexander Moffat was Chairman of the Gallery from 1968 until 1978. Gareth Fisher followed him as Chairman.
In 1984, the Gallery merged with The Fruitmarket Gallery, which came to occupy the whole of the building under the directorship of Mark Francis.
The archives of the 57 and New 57 Gallery are held at the National Galleries of Scotland.
