Director's ForewordWhat a fabulous time at the <strong>Gallery</strong> this Winter / Springedition <strong>of</strong> <strong>Preview</strong> is covering!Picasso to Warhol: Fourteen Modern Masters, the launchexhibition <strong>of</strong> the exclusive three – year collaboration withThe Museum <strong>of</strong> Modern <strong>Art</strong> (MoMA), New York has opened.Jeff Wall Photographs, the first <strong>Australia</strong>n survey <strong>of</strong> his work,is illuminating the upper level <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Gallery</strong>. And opening inOctober is Luminous World – an exciting display <strong>of</strong>contemporary art from the Wesfarmers Collection.It has been my absolute pleasure to witness theoverwhelmingly positive response to the launch <strong>of</strong> theMoMA Series and the Picasso to Warhol exhibition. It trulyis a superb presentation <strong>of</strong> some <strong>of</strong> the most significantworks from MoMA. And to borrow the words <strong>of</strong> Glenn D.Lowry, Director <strong>of</strong> The Museum <strong>of</strong> Modern <strong>Art</strong>, it is anhonour to have their “A list works” on our walls.I was delighted that Glenn was able to travel to Perth forthe opening <strong>of</strong> Picasso to Warhol. It takes much trust tolend over <strong>12</strong>0 <strong>of</strong> your most treasured works to the otherside <strong>of</strong> the world. It was a pleasure to introduce Glenn toour wonderful State, and publicly acknowledge both histeam’s and my own team’s dedication and passion todelivering a world-class exhibition.It’s always refreshing to see works in a new context, andthe layout <strong>of</strong> the Picasso to Warhol exhibition does justthat. As you turn a corner, another work <strong>of</strong> art you mayhave only seen in an art book, reveals its whole self toyou and there’s a tantalising glimpse <strong>of</strong> others to come.I urge you, to take your time and fully appreciate thesemasterpieces in person. If you’re after a quieter time toexperience the works, my tip is to come on a Wednesdayevening when the rest <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Gallery</strong> is closed.I’m also delighted with the range <strong>of</strong> events and programsthat we have created to enhance your visit. The LiteraryLinks tour for Picasso to Warhol is a wonderful initiative byour Volunteer Guides. The CollaborART project has seenus forge lasting relationships with community arts partnersto present unique workshops for children and adults;deliver an inspiring Sunday Lecture Series and collaboratewith the AWESOME <strong>Art</strong>s Festival.


Again, there is so much on <strong>of</strong>fer over these next fewmonths that I hope to see you in the <strong>Gallery</strong> soon. Andmore than once!Ciao,Stefano Carboni, DirectorAndy Warhol (American, 1928-1987)Campbell's Soup Cans, 1962Synthetic polymer paint on thirty-two canvasesEach canvas 20 x 16" (50.8 x 40.6 cm)The Museum <strong>of</strong> Modern <strong>Art</strong>, New YorkPartial gift <strong>of</strong> Irving Blum; additional funding provided by Nelson A.

partnershipKimberley <strong>Art</strong> Research ProjectThe <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Gallery</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Western</strong> <strong>Australia</strong>, in partnership withRio Tinto, has embarked on an exciting project this year.Through consultation with members <strong>of</strong> the art-makingcommunities <strong>of</strong> the Kimberley region, AGWA will explorethe potential for the development <strong>of</strong> a major visual artsinitiative. The purpose <strong>of</strong> the initiative is to survey andcelebrate contemporary art and cultural narratives fromIndigenous art-making communities across the Kimberleyregion <strong>of</strong> <strong>Western</strong> <strong>Australia</strong>.The initial phase <strong>of</strong> this project has been designed toinvestigate current activities within the visual arts in theregion and to establish a cultural network that will includeIndigenous art-making communities, regional, governmentand local organisations. The <strong>Gallery</strong> hopes that throughthis research we are able to stimulate interest andinvolvement from art-making communities in the project.A project <strong>of</strong> this scale requires effective, considered andculturally sensitive consultation in its initial phase. As suchthis phase <strong>of</strong> the project is committed to developingstrong, sustainable and mutually beneficial relationshipsbetween AGWA and Indigenous art-making communitiesacross the Kimberley.Chad Creighton, a Bardi and Nyull Nyull man from theKimberley who previously worked at AGWA as a curatorialintern and curator, has been employed as the <strong>Gallery</strong>’sCommunity Liaison and Project Officer and is based inBroome from where he has commenced research andconsultation relating to this exciting initiative.Chad Creighton overlooking Balgo Hills countryPhoto courtesy Russell Thomas

foundationAGWA Foundation FundsMajor PurchasesThe TomorrowFund is transforming the <strong>Gallery</strong>’s ability toadd major works to the Collection. It’s a special acquisitionfund initiated in 2008 and completed in June 2011. Theaims behind it were to bring <strong>Western</strong> <strong>Australia</strong>n leaderstogether to create a special acquisition fund allowing the<strong>Gallery</strong> to acquire the most important art <strong>of</strong> today for thepeople <strong>of</strong> tomorrow.The income generated from the TomorrowFund’s capital hasalready allowed the acquisition <strong>of</strong> 166 works <strong>of</strong> contemporaryart for your Collection. This includes 96 <strong>Western</strong> <strong>Australia</strong>n,57 <strong>Australia</strong>n and 13 international works.A group <strong>of</strong> four DVD works by the South African bornartist Candice Breitz is a major component <strong>of</strong> theinternational acquisitions. Titled Factum Trembley 2009,Factum McNamara 2009, Factum Bradley 2010 andFactum Hawke 2009, the works focus on pairs <strong>of</strong> identicaltwins. The couples deliver utterly compelling monologueswhich reveal the intensity <strong>of</strong> their relationships and, <strong>of</strong>ten,their very different perspectives on shared events.The works are the first <strong>of</strong> this major contemporary artistto enter the Collection.While the TomorrowFund provides the resources toincrease the contemporary holdings, a planned gift by thelate Sir Claude Hotchin is also making a significant impacton historical holdings. This gift has recently enabled theacquisition <strong>of</strong> the colour linocut, Swings 1932, by <strong>Australia</strong>nprintmaker Ethel Spowers. This is the first work bySpowers to enter your Collection. Curator <strong>of</strong> HistoricalWorks on Paper, Lucy Harper, reports that “this workboosts the representation <strong>of</strong> modernist female artists, andin particular printmakers, in the Collection. More widely,it serves to illustrate important developments inprintmaking practice in this country.”As you can see, these funds, which are managed throughthe <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Gallery</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Western</strong> <strong>Australia</strong> Foundation, areproviding an incredible platform for the <strong>Gallery</strong> to collectthe most inspiring and intriguing work <strong>of</strong> now and then.


We also develop our holdings through smaller donationsand more specifically focused funds such as the TomMalone Prize which develops the contemporary <strong>Australia</strong>nglass collection and the Peter Fogarty Design Fund whichdevelops <strong>Australia</strong>n design. Both <strong>of</strong> these are key, longstandingFoundation initiatives.If you would like to join us as we transform your State <strong>Art</strong>Collection we invite you to become a part <strong>of</strong> the Foundation.For more information, please contact Development DirectorLyn-Marie Hegarty on 9492 6760 or Foundation ManagerTeresa Fantoni on 9492 6761.
