Established in Sydney in 1982, Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery has fostered the careers of some of the most influential Australian artists working today. This major new publication is a comprehensive overview of four seminal decades of the Gallery’s representation of these seminal artists, including Tracey Moffatt, David Noonan, Fiona Hall, Patricia Piccinini, Bill Henson and Dale Frank. During this time more than 350 artists have exhibited their work at Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery, with artists hailing from Australia, Europe, the United Kingdom, Asia and the United States.
Written and edited by Felicity Fenner, Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery: The First 40 Years utilises a rich tapestry of stories to collectively document the history of the Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery and explore the extraordinary archives of the Gallery through the eyes of the world’s leading artists, curators and art world figures.
With the history of Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery being intertwined with the history of Australian contemporary art, the publication offers a significant educational resource, with extensive installation imagery of exhibitions presented at the Gallery in chronological order from 1982 through until the current day.
