Contemporary collection

The Gallery’s contemporary collection is well-represented by the work of emerging and established artists who have been acquired through the Gallery’s acquisitive exhibitions since 1973. The Gallery holds clusters of work by other distinguished Australian artists such as Jenny Watson, Peter Booth, Domenico de Clario and Lawrence Daws.

Recent winners of the National Works on Paper include Laith McGregor, Richard Lewer, Danie Mellor, Gareth Sansom, Paul Boston, Lisa Roet and eX de Medici.
