That Seventies Feeling...The Late Modern (expired event)

Step back in time for this exhibition showcasing the very best works from the gallery's opening decade.

Showcasing some of the Gallery's best works from the decade that saw the opening of AGWA's much-longed-for new Gallery.

Rather than echoing the various high key transformations taking place in the pop world at large, these surprising and rarely seen works deal with how space is dealt with in relation to the body, how artists work with the flip between memory and immediate experience and how politics and performance are traversed.

Featuring artists Miriam Stannage, Virginia Cuppaidge, Mike Parr and Brian Blanchflower, hip new visions by Robert Rooney, Stephen Shore and Jenny Watson, and late work by modernists Howard Hodgkin, Fred Williams and Albert Tucker you'll be transported back to the decade that shaped modern Australia.
