  • Prints from the Collection : Fine Arts Gallery
    - PRINTS fron1 the COLLECTION PRINTS FROM THE COLLECTION FINE ARTS GALLERY UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA 11 March - 4 April 1986 An exhibition organized by the Art Exhibitions Committee of the University of Tasmania. FOREWORD The Fine Arts Committee began collecting artworks in 1968, and since that time has built up a considerable body of contemporary art. The aim of the Committee has been 'to stimulate and encourage an interest in, and appreciation of, the visual arts on the University campus'. With this objective in mind the campus has been utilised as an extended gallery in which artworks are displayed in locations as disparate as the Central Science Laboratory and the Child Care Centre. Consequently, artworks in the Collection tend to be seen in isolation, and it is difficult for the casual observer to gain anything but a vague impression of the Collection as a whole. The withdrawal of the prints for redocumentation has presented a rare opportunity for several of these works to be seen together. The exhibition illustrates some of the major trends in contemporary Australian art over the past 20 years, including the figurative work of Nolan and Counihan (purchased in 1968 and therefore the earliest acquisitions), the abstract and 'Minimal' work of such artists as Leach~Jones, Ewins and Leti (acquired during the 70's) and the most recent acquisitions which reveal a current focus on contemporary and personal issues. It is hoped that the exhibition will give some insight into the concerns of the Committee, which recognises a responsibility to support and promote contemporary Australian (particularly Tasmanian) art, and within the constraints of its budget to acquire a collection of the highest quality available.
