2014 marks the 25th anniversary of the Art Gallery of Western Australia Foundation. To celebrate the anniversary of this vital body, a showcase of significant works acquired through the Foundation is on display until 1 December 2014. Since its inception in 1989, the Foundation has enabled the Gallery to bring more than 4,500 works into the State Art Collection, representing 25% of AGWA’s holdings. In the last 5 years, the Foundation has accounted for 80% of all acquisitions. The AGWA Foundation was formed by a passionate group of people with a shared vision for a state art collection of national and international significance.
