By the time Fuller appeared in London he was already a household name throughout Canada. Fuller's iconic dome was the centrepiece of Montreal’s Expo 67 which would go on to be considered the most successful World’s fair of the 20th Century.
But Fuller wasn’t the only one gaining attention, the art scene in London was also having a moment in the late 60’s.
