It pays tribute to the legendary art dealer and maverick, whose Duke Street gallery was a hub of global cultural change in the 1960s until its forced closure in 1967. The title recontextualises a line from the police report on the drugs bust that resulted in the closure of the gallery, using this moment as the start of an exploration of Fraser’s legacy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe book accompanied a 2015 exhibition of the same name (curated by artist Brian\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Clarke) showing works that Fraser had admired or owned, or that he had displayed at his gallery.
