The Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW) has received a private collection of Australian First Nations art gifted by New Zealand philanthropist Michael Horton and his late wife, Dame Rosie Horton.
The Horton Bequest, comprising 139 works, is the largest gift ever donated to AGNSW’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art collection and complements AGNSW’s existing collection by bringing in artists not previously represented. Works by Girramay artists Abe Muriata and Emily Murray, and Djinaŋ/Marung artist Jeremiah Bonson, will be entering the public gallery’s collection for the first time.
