ARTISTS
Collection Focus #4. The Hills: An Artists' Gathering
This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to reflect on the period in which artists in Darlington and its surrounds formed a vibrant creative community, forging new directions in art. Among the highlights of the exhibition is Brian Blanchflower’s Glimpses (An Earth History), 1986-1987, described by critic David Bromfield as the artist’s most ambitious work of the 1980s. The Janet Holmes à Court Collection, which now numbers more than four and a half thousand works, began modestly with three purchases from the 1968 Darlington Arts & Craft Exhibition. Those early acquisitions, along with many subsequent works by artists in the Perth hills, continue to form a core of the Collection today.
