The Long Gallery

The Long Gallery at Georgegen features paintings by talented artists, some of whom have become forgotten by the passage of time. With a particular focus on Australian Art, this thoughtfully curated collection spans the nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century.

FEATURED PIECE | The Field. NGV. 1968.

It’s almost 60 years since the seminal inaugural exhibition The Field was held to celebrate the opening of the re-sited National Gallery of Victoria to its then new home on St Kilda Road. “The staging of The Field catalysed debate in the late 1960s regarding the course of Australian art – the exhibition was divisive and its reception varied.” Learn more at the NGV.

In The Library at Georgegen you’ll find the exceedingly rare and highly collectable original exhibition catalogue from 1968.

Rarely does this catalogue become available so if you are a collector of antiquarian books, or Australian art, enquire now.
