2021 Season 2 Opening Night

Friday 16 July, 6pm-8pm

We are pleased to invite you to the opening of our Season 2 exhibitions:

Feeling abstract?
Paintings from the UWA Art Collection, 1950–1990

Feeling abstract? explores abstract painting over a forty year period through works in the UWA Art Collection.

The exhibition features key examples of Australian abstraction of the 20th century and is a unique opportunity to view dynamic, large-scale paintings from the Collection, several of which have been included in major national exhibitions but have not been on public display at Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery for several decades.
