Works by Kate Beynon and Elizabeth Gower will be on show at the Deakin University Art Gallery’s celebratory exhibition 50 Years of Collecting. Surveying significant works alongside new acquisitions, the exhibition aims to explore not only the collection’s origins but also its ongoing development as a reflection on the shifting trends in contemporary Australian art. Newly acquired Dragon Goddess Guardian Spirits for Earth (2024) by Kate Beynon will feature alongside Elizabeth Gower’s Savings #9 (2010).
In conjunction with the exhibition the University Art Gallery will launch an updated publication about the collection, in addition to a publicly accessible, searchable art collection database.
