In 1961 John Plumb exhibited alongside Richard Hamilton, Bernard Cohen, William Turnbull and Eduardo Paolozzi at Theo Crosby's temporary building for the opening of International Union of Architects Congress (IUAC); the same year he had exhibited at the influential Situations Exhibition in 1960. This had a considerable impact on British art and launched the careers of some of our most important artists. It was a period of innovation, which influenced Plumbs work.
