Acclaimed on first publication, Harriet Vyner's Groovy Bob is the cult biography of hedonistic gallery owner Robert Fraser and a dazzling evocation of 1960s culture and counter-culture. Taste-maker, heroin addict and promiscuous homosexual, Fraser astonished London with the artists he introduced: Andy Warhol, Peter Blake, Claes Oldenburg, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Told through the voices of those who knew him best ― Paul McCartney, Richard Hamilton, Mick Jagger, Bridget Riley, Keith Richards, Kenneth Anger, Malcolm McLaren and Vyner herself ― Groovy Bob is a brilliant biography and a searing portrait of the most exhilarating period in post-war British social history.

A wonderful book about the art gallerist Robert Fraser (‘Groovy Bob’), who sold artworks to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and was a flamboyantly influential figure in the ‘60s world. Harriet Vyner’s book inspired me to write and record an album of songs entitled ‘Robert Fraser’s Groovy Arts Club Band’. This was launched along with an exhibition of the same name at Gazelli Art House, Dover St, London W1. Recently, I quoted the book in my talk ‘Colin Self, the Sixties & Robert Fraser’s Groovy Arts Club Band’ delivered at Norwich Castle on 5th July 2025. ‘Groovy Bob’ is essential reading if you have any interest in the Sixties and that era’s continuing influence.
Gorgeous book for the shelf, about the v&a exhibition.
Lots of great arty books, will be buying again.
Very good price for brand new books with excellent packaging to ensure the books are delivered in undamaged condition which can be a gripe when purchasing online with some sellers like Amazon etc.
