"Making a mark: prints and drawings gifted by Ian Brown will survey the collection highlights of one of the most generous supporters of the NGV - the Reverend Ian Brown.
The exhibition comprises principally of works on paper that range from his first acquisition, a significant George Baldessin drawing, to twentieth-century European and American prints by artists including Jasper Johns and Picasso. It also includes a number of important New Zealand artists, a highlight being the work of Colin McCahon.
Collectors have always formed a key role in the development of museum collections, each reflecting the interests, passions, career, travel, religious or political beliefs of the individual, and for this reason such collections are unique. Ian Brown’s choices and motivations for collecting art are explored within this exhibition, together with the benefits for individuals and institutions of collecting art for enjoyment
