Biography

The National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) is the oldest and most visited gallery in Australia. Situated over two buildings, NGV International and NGV Australia, the Gallery hosts a wide range of international and local artists, exhibitions, programmes and events; from contemporary art to major international historic exhibitions, fashion and design, architecture, sound and dance. Founded in 1861, today the NGV holds a significant collection of art in the region; a vast treasury of more than 70,000 works that span thousands of years and a wealth of ideas, disciplines and styles. 

The Contemporary Art Society, London donated nearly 30 artworks to the NGV in the second half of the 20th century by modern British artists such as Mark Gertler, William Roberts, Victor Pasmore, David Bomberg as well as Bridget Riley, Barry Flanagan and David Hockney.
