Art Gallery of New South Wales opens new John Kaldor Family Gallery


Today the Art Gallery of New South Wales unveils a new floor for contemporary art, a development catalysed by the gift of the John Kaldor Family Collection - the largest donation of art to a public art gallery in Australia's history. The Collection includes over 200 works by artists of our time and features in-depth representations of Robert Rauschenberg, Christo, Sol LeWitt, Richard Long, Bill Viola, Thomas Demand, Francis Alys and Ugo Rondinone.
