Sharing the National Collection

Ipswich Art Gallery are the proud hosts of powerhouse American artists Mark Rothko (1903-1970) and Agnes Martin (1912-2004), both exponents of international abstraction. Works by renowned former Ipswich ceramicist, Gwyn Hanssen-Pigott (1935-2013) also complement those held in the Ipswich Art Gallery collection. These important works promise to captivate and delight with their profound beauty and sensitivity. These work of art are on long-term loan from the National Gallery of Australia with support from the Australian Government as part of Sharing the National Collection. The Sharing the National Collection initiative, funded under Australia’s National Cultural Policy Revive, enables major works of art to be exhibited outside the nation’s capital.
