TALK: The Cruthers collection: A view from the inside

In this public talk, John Cruthers, curatorial advisor to the Cruthers Collection of Women's Art, provides a personal reflection on the collection and on the act of private collecting.

The Cruthers Collection of Women's Art is Australia's largest specialist collection of women's art that was donated to the University of Western Australia in 2007 by Sir James and Lady Sheila Cruthers.

Over 140 works are presented in the current exhibition LOOK. LOOK AGAIN at the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery (20 October 2012 - 15 December 2012).

John will discuss the role of his mother Lady Sheila Cruthers, her relationship with young artists and her hopes for the Collection. He will also reveal some of his personal favourites within the Collection and the stories of their making or acquisition.

This talk is FREE for all.
