Dale Hickey: Life in a Box
- Date
- 2008
- Place
- The Ian Potter Museum of Art, University of Melbourne, Vic.
- Description
-
Dale Hickey is one of Australia’s most highly regarded painters. His work has influenced generations of Australian artists. This survey comprises thirty-six key works and focuses on the immediate confines of the artist’s studio and the objects within it, synthesizing the flat and the painterly. The majority of selected works are large paintings made after 1982. They present familiar, mundane objects in ever-changing configurations within a shallow stage-like space. This exhibition includes large abstract works from the late 1960s, and a group of Hickey’s small still-life paintings from the 1970s that highlight his lifelong exploration of pictorial space.

The Field
- Date
- 1968
- Place
- National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, VIC
- Description
-
The Field was the first temporary exhibition in the newly opened National Gallery of Victoria building in St Kilda Road. Its curators, John Stringer and Brian Finemore, proudly proclaimed its partisanship as it celebrated the work of a new generation of Australian abstract artists.
“It is not impartial and comprehensive. It is biassed to define one particular direction in contemporary Australian art,” they wrote.
The Field was held a year after MoMA’s Two Decades of American Painting travelled to Sydney and Melbourne, and both its content and its catalogue were significantly influenced by that exhibition. Its professional production as much as the content of the lively hard edge abstract works encouraged the perception that this was the avant garde in Australia in 1968.
In 2018, the 50th anniversary of The Field, the National Gallery of Victoria recreated the exhibition at Federation Square. - Type
