Abstract

Making a mark: prints and drawings gifted by Ian Brown will survey the significant collection of one of the National Gallery of Victoria’s most generous benefactors, the Reverend Ian Brown.

Over the last forty years Ian Brown has collected a fascinating range of late nineteenth and twentieth-century art, which the NGV has either already received as gifts, or will receive through bequests. In recognition of this, and to explore the development of a personal collection, Making a mark will survey highlights of his collection.

Making a mark will include over seventy prints, drawings and watercolours by many of the most significant artists of the twentieth century. Artists represented include Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Karel Appel, Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Colin McCahon, John Perceval, George Baldessin, Juan Davila and Ricky Swallow.
