In 1968 the London, Ontario based artist Greg Curnoe walked into a bar.
He was wearing a bright yellow suit paired with an equally loud purple shirt. It was a bold look.

16 NOV 2021 · 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.
