Australian Art Exhibitions: Opening Your Eyes

Abstract

This publication outlines the exciting and often controversial development of Australia's public galleries and the changing conditions that have determined their exhibition program from the 1960's to the present. The extravagantly illustrated chapters are based on the extensive research of four authors associated with four universities from three states. Richly annotated with multiple appendices and a comprehensive index of more than 1,500 entries, this publication is an incredible resource for Australian art history that concludes with an analysis of the value of exhibitions that enables visitors to see art with fresh eyes and see the world anew.
