London Various interior shots at the Grosvenor Gallery of an exhibition of artwork and sculpture by Gerald Scarfe. GV gallery party with crowd chatting and looking.

The eyes are popping out through glasses of a tangled up figure on the floor at least a yard away from the eyes. This is supposed to represent Aristotle Onassis. And next to him is of course Jackie (pan up to) a stick-thin thing in a sheer gown with a head that looks like giant sunglasses covered with cloth - also like a space alien. CU Ari's head pan down to broken record (Maria Callas). M/S of people looking at 'Clever Dick', sculpture of Richard Nixon. Sculpture of President Richard Nixon with fabric hanging down from his face to the floor. Women looking. More grotesque weird works of art. M/S of strange sculpture called 'Investiture Souvenir'.
