The gallery was founded in Bond Street, London, by Sir Coutts Lindsay and Blanche Lindsay. The Grosvenor displayed work by artists from outside the British mainstream art, including Edward Burne-Jones and Walter Crane. In 1877, John Ruskin visited the gallery to see work by Burne-Jones. James McNeill Whistler’s work was also on display, and Ruskin’s review led to the famous libel case of Ruskin and Whistler. Related BRANCH Article: Julie Codell, “On the Grosvenor Gallery, 1877-90”
