This was an exhibition of 83 Australian works in the collection ranging from the then recently acquired Aus Australien, to paintings and prints dating back to the 19th century.
Aus Australien is an edition of 40 prints by eight contemporary Australian artists: Richard Dunn, John Nixon, John Lethbridge, Mike Parr, Vivienne Shark LeWitt, Peter Tyndall, Ken Unsworth and Jenny Watson. The work was published in Australia's bicentennial year by a European dealer, Rene Block, who was the curator of the 1990 Biennale of Sydney.
