Author Description

"A series of important contemporary art events known as the Mildura Sculpture Triennials took place between 1961 and 1988 and undeniably put Mildura on the arts map on an international level. The legacy remains today with public art scattered in and around Mildura... [This] major exhibition... celebrates our past..."--Foreword. The essay traces the sometimes stormy history of the sculpture exhibitions and the roles played by Ernst van Hattum and Tom McCullough, the directors of the Mildura Art Gallery during the most significant period of the Triennials, 1961-1978.
