McClelland’s permanent collection consists of over 2,000 works of art encompassing sculpture, paintings, photography, works-on-paper and more. Following on from the 2006 exhibition Highlights from the McClelland collection which presented works dating from the late 1800s to the 1950s, this exhibition brings together a selection of key contemporary works from McClelland’s collection. Both old favourites and recent acquisitions by many of Australia’s acclaimed contemporary artists working across a range of mediums and styles, will be presented in celebration of the continuing growth and significance of McClelland’s permanent collection.
Featured artists include Rick Amor, Stephen Bush, Paul Davies, Jennifer Goodman, Richard Giblett, Cherry Hood, Robert Jacks, Rosemary Laing, Christopher Langton, Ron Mueck, Jan Nelson, Jim Paterson, Patricia Piccinini, Alex Seton, Kate Spencer, Colin Suggett, Simon Terrill and Stephen Wickham.
