Peter Kennedy: selected work from 1970-2002
Date
2002
Place
Ian Potter Museum of Art, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Vic.
Description

Author, critic and lecturer Anne Marsh has described Peter Kennedy as 'one of Australia’s most astute commentators on the late twentieth century’. This survey-style exhibition of Kennedy’s work installed over four galleries is an opportunity to view a broad selection of the artists’ work spanning a 30-year period. The range of work includes spectacular neon installations from the 1990’s, through to watercolours, prints, drawings, photographs, sound sculpture and video. Works have been drawn from the artist’s own collection as well as from private and public collections around Australia, and include new work specially produced for this exhibition.
