AUSTRALIAN ART

In the short period between the 1960s, when the National Gallery project received the go-ahead from government, and its opening in 1982 the national collection of art took shape. Twenty years on, this book of essays tells how the various collections which make up the national collection came into being — and the ways in which these collections continue to evolve. The stories included in Building the Collection are as varied and full of interest as the collections themselves.
