Deakin University has received a significant gift of 31 contemporary sculptures by artist Andrew Rogers to add to its University Art Collection. This is the largest philanthropic gift to Deakin’s art collection, with the sculptures valued at $6.1 million collectively.
Based in Melbourne, Rogers’ practice is internationally recognised, known for his sublime land art pieces, sculptures and photography. His Rhythms of Life is considered the ‘largest contemporary land art undertaking in the world’. It connects 51 stone sculptures (geoglyphs) around the globe and is visible from space.
