For most of her life Pat Larter was regarded as a muse, the subject of much of her husband, Richard Larter's, art. In reality she was often the instigator of the sexually confronting performances he filmed. By the mid-1970s she began to emerge as an artist in her own right, becoming a major figure in International Mail Art. Later she turn to painting and mixed media work. Her career was cut short by her untimely death.

Description:

Ever wondered what collectors collect and why? Franks Flat is an exhibition of the artwork found in the home of one of Sydney’s longest art dealer Frank Watters. Raised in Muswellbrook, along with his brother Max (an artist and art collector), Frank’s heart is never far from the Hunter.

Watters Galley is one of the most important commercial art galleries in NSW and this exhibition has been curated by Frank Watters’ business partner Geoffrey Legge and Geoffrey’s daughter in law Sonia Legge. A number of the artists represented in this exhibition were given their first commercial exhibition at Watters Gallery and many of them are still with Watters, such is their loyalty as art dealers to their artists and the artists to Watters. In deed this exhibition will be opened by John Peart – an artist who has been represented by Watters Gallery for over 40 years.
