Decades: 80 Years of Collecting

This exhibition brings together works from the QUT Art Collection, acquired since its inception in 1945. An art collection typically comes together organically and idiosyncratically, assembled from disparate sources. It reflects — deliberately or inadvertently — the dominant paradigms of its time, illuminating shifting values, burgeoning ideas and changing trends. This exhibition is a compilation of well-known and rarely seen works by significant Australian and international artists, including paintings, sculpture, ceramics and works on paper.
