THE LONG GALLERY

THE LONG GALLERY

The Long Gallery features paintings by sometimes forgotten artists with an emphasis on Australian art. I hope it becomes the place you come to find interesting original artwork for sale online. I carefully select and curate a collection of paintings from the nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century so that they can become part of someone’s home, maybe yours.

The Long Gallery is inspired by celebrated artist, Margaret Olley, who created brilliance from her everyday surroundings and painted still lifes and interiors. “I would gather flowers … people aren’t always at hand.” You really cannot but smile at the quips from the delightful Margaret Olley. 

Art can be affordable and transformative. So whether you are a first time buyer or a seasoned collector I hope you find the perfect piece for you.

The final word goes to the great lady, she used to say, “I sell frames, and the paintings are for free!” Here at Georgegen I sell paintings and the frames are for free! And these flowers are for Margaret.

Margaret Olley.

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 you’ll find the exceedingly rare and highly collectable exhibition catalogue from this exhibition.
