Please join Art & Culture on 17 March for ‘Margaret’s Gift’ at the SH Erwin Gallery, one of Sydney’s leading public art institutions located in the historic National Trust Centre at Observatory Hill.

Margaret Olley (1923- 2011) is one of Australia’s most significant still life and interior artists.

Margaret was also a prolific collector of art works. In the course of her lifetime, and following her death, she donated hundreds of art works from her collection to cultural institutions across Australia, including Cressida Campbell’s ‘White Waratah’ 2000 (image above). This exhibition celebrates her legacy.

The exhibition has been curated by Renee Porter and brings together over 65 works from various collections. It includes works by Margaret Olley and other Australian artists, as well as European masters. The exhibition is organised by The National Trust in association with The Margaret Olley Art Trust. Margaret wanted to make giving ‘contagious’. This exhibition highlights her generosity.
