The Phantom and the City
Date
25 September 2010 - 28 November 2010
Place
The Ian Potter Museum of Art, University of Melbourne, Vic.
Description

From 1988 to 1990, Tim Jones made a series of works based on an elaborate New Guinean sculpture which was originally used as a house-post for an above-water dwelling in Sentani Lake, West Papua. These little known works on paper from the University of Melbourne Art Collection are shown together for the first time with three related sculptures from the artist’s collection. An important inclusion in this exhibition is two Papua New Guinean shields from the Leonhard Adam Collection of International Indigenous Culture. The shields are included to indicate the influence of works from this region in Jones’s art.

Yvonne Audette: six decades of painting
Date
29 August 2009 - 22 November 2009
Place
Ian Potter Museum of Art, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Vic.
Description

Yvonne Audette is a senior Australian artist who is regarded as a key figure in the development of abstract painting by Australian artists. Audette’s remarkable career spans six decades, and this exhibition includes more than fifty works from 1950 to the present. Evocative and richly layered, these lyrical, abstract works reflect the artist’s response to her immediate as well as imagined environment. Paintings that explore the development of Audette’s practice and the full spectrum of her career have been selected, and have mostly been drawn from the artist’s collection.

Strange Spectacle
Date
11 November 2006 - 4 February 2007
Place
The Ian Potter Museum of Art, University of Melbourne, Vic.
Description

The wonderfully wry work of Eric Thake (1904–1982) and his perceptive visual and verbal puns in this popular Christmas card series are featured in this exhibition, alongside artists who tackle issues with a political edge, or use wit and satire to convey a subversive message.
