  • Exhibiton Checklist
    FACE TO FACE An exhibition of portrait and figurative photography from the Albury Regional Art Gallery Collection 29 January – 6 March 2005 Face to Face brings together a selection of works from the extensive Albury Regional Art Gallery Collection of Australian photography that focuses on the human figure including formal and informal portraits and a variety of ideas expressed through narrative, composition and the many avenues available through photographic means. Since its beginnings in 1982, the collection has evolved into one of the finest photographic collections in the country. Seventy-five portrait and figurative works have been specially selected for exhibition at S.H. Ervin Gallery in Sydney. Following the establishment of the Gallery, a collection policy was adopted in 1982 and cited one of the major areas of focus to be Works on Paper, with an emphasis on Photography. To support this mission, the National Photographic Purchase Award was founded in 1983. Since 1999 the Albury Wodonga Regional Art Foundation has sponsored the Award, recognising the value of the collection and the enhanced reputation of the Art Gallery and its standing as a leading supporter of photographic practice in Australia. The National Photographic Purchase Award continues to be a major biennial event attracting artists from a national field and adding new works to the collection. Early purchases and gifts included important suites of work by Max Dupain, Harold Cazneaux, and the popular Siblings series by Robert Rosen. The collection now includes the work of David Moore, J.J. Voss, Brenda Croft, Destiny Deacon, Leah King Smith, Tracey Moffatt, Fiona Hall, Philip Quirk and many other important Australian photographers who have key works included in the exhibition.

The resource is intended for use in the design of projects related to subject strands and curriculum outcomes.
