Margaret Olley: Life's Journey
Curator Talk
Join UQ Art Museum Curator Michele Helmrich and exhibition co-curator on a guided tour of Margaret Olley: Life's Journey. This exhibition provides a unique insight into the world around Margaret Olley from the early 1950s to the 1970s. From Paris to the New Guinea Highlands and from Hill End to Brisbane, the exhibition traces the places throughout the world to which Margaret Olley has travelled, and the cities in which she has lived. Focussing on monotypes, and pen and ink and watercolour studies, Margaret Olley: Life’s Journey brings to public attention rarely exhibited works drawn from national, state and private collections, and the artist's own collection.
Exhibition dates: 6 February – 19 April 2009
