Some Recent Acquisitions 1979–1981

“This exhibition can be no more than a cross-section of the acquisitions made by all departments in two years. It is, however, a representative exhibition which we hope will serve to thank and acknowledge those organisations and individuals… to whom we are indebted for the funds, gifts and general support which have enabled the collections of the National Gallery of Victoria to retain their importance in the life of the State.”
