Art Gallery of South Australia
Since 1900, the Art Gallery of South Australia (AGSA) has been housed at its current location, an iconic structure in the heart of Adelaide. In the following years, the gallery has grown to accommodate its growing collection, which now numbers 45,000 items and spans 2,000 years. The collection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, as well as the 20th-century modernist art collection, which concentrates on works by female artists, are highlights. AGSA is known for its impressive collection of Indigenous Australian and colonial art as well as a significant collection of Pre-Raphaelite art and works of the Heidelberg School. The gallery is also the only dedicated Islamic gallery space in Australia.
Exploring the gallery, you’ll find works by Australian greats, including Sidney Nolan and Arthur Boyd, and contemporary Asian art, including Absence embodied, a wool, bronze and plaster installation by Chiharu Shiota. You also can take part in some major events including the Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art, the Tarnanthi festival of contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art, and the Ramsay Art Prize for contemporary Australian artists under 40.
