  • 'The Neo-Avant-Garde in Modern Scottish Art, And
    ‘THE NEO-AVANT-GARDE IN MODERN SCOTTISH ART, AND WHY IT MATTERS.’ CRAIG RICHARDSON DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (BY PUBLISHED WORK) THE SCHOOL OF FINE ART, THE GLASGOW SCHOOL OF ART 2017 1 ‘THE NEO-AVANT-GARDE IN MODERN SCOTTISH ART, AND WHY IT MATTERS.’ Abstract. The submitted publications are concerned with the historicisation of late-modern Scottish visual art. The underpinning research draws upon archives and site visits, the development of Scottish art chronologies in extant publications and exhibitions, and builds on research which bridges academic and professional fields, including Oliver 1979, Hartley 1989, Patrizio 1999, and Lowndes 2003. However, the methodology recognises the limits of available knowledge of this period in this national field. Some of the submitted publications are centred on major works and exhibitions excised from earlier work in Gage 1977, and Macmillan 1994. This new research is discussed in a new iteration, Scottish art since 1960, and in eight other publications. The primary objective is the critical recovery of little-known artworks which were formed in Scotland or by Scottish artists and which formed a significant period in Scottish art’s development, with legacies and implications for contemporary Scottish art and artists. This further serves as an analysis of critical practices and discourses in late-modern Scottish art and culture. The central contention is that a Scottish neo-avant-garde, particularly from the 1970s, is missing from the literature of post-war Scottish art. This was due to a lack of advocacy, which continues, and a dispersal of knowledge. Therefore, while the publications share with extant publications a consideration of important themes such as landscape, it reprioritises these through a problematisation of the art object.

The Willow Tea Rooms Trust (“the applicant”) applied for the trade mark THE WILLOW TEA ROOMS on 22 April 2015 in classes 35, 41, 42 and 43. 2. The application was accepted and published in the Trade Marks Journal for opposition purposes on 26 June 2015. Anne Mulhern opposes the trade mark application under sections 5(2)(b), 5(3) and 5(4)(a) of the Trade Marks Act (“the Act”). For sections 5(2)(b) and 5(3), Ms Mulhern relies upon two earlier trade mark registrations which she owns, as follows: (i) 1276805 (series of 2 marks) Class 42: Restaurant, tea room, catering and cafe services; all included in Class 42; but not including any of the aforesaid services relating to the provision of alcoholic drinks. Filing date: 1 October 1986; date registration procedure completed: 12 July 1991 (ii) 2251332A (series of 8 marks): Page 2 of 73 Goods and services in classes 9, 11, 16, 20, 21, 24, 30 and 43. Filing date: 3 November 2000; date registration procedure completed: 8 March 2002. 3. Ms Mulhern’s claim under section 5(2)(b) is that there exists a likelihood of confusion owing to the similarities/identity between the marks and the goods/services. Under section 5(3) of the Act, Ms Mulhern claims that the earlier marks have a reputation in certain goods and services such that use of the application without due cause would take unfair advantage of, or be detrimental to, the distinctive character or the repute of the earlier marks.
