The June acquisition meeting is always a bumper one for art museums, as the approaching end-of-financial year precipitates gifts; but this round brought some surprising gems into the collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW).
Director of Collections Suhanya Raffel said: ‘One of the core values of any international art museum is to have a great collection of works and I am very pleased to announce that this Gallery recently acquired some major international works from artists including Doug Aitken and Kay Rosen to Matisse.’
