Black to blackest

Saturday 25 June to Sunday 14 August 2016

Selected works from the Gallery’s collection in which artists deploy an exclusively black palette—using paint, ink, mixed media and charcoal—with variously minimalist and expressionist approaches. Included works by Peter Booth, Jannene Eaton, Stieg Persson, Aida Tomescu and Paul Partos, among others.

Geelong Gallery acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the Gallery and its collections are located, the Wadawurrung People of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to all Elders, past, present and emerging.
