The gallery is located in Carlton and was established in 1983. It is one of the few remaining galleries in the country specialising in museum quality 19th and 20th Century Australian paintings, drawings and prints.

We have around 1000 works in stock, mostly museum quality and about 200 are on view at any time over two levels. We have an extensive website. If you have specific interests, it is advisable to contact the gallery before visiting to ensure works are still available or to ensure they are in the gallery and not in storage. Paintings and drawings by major artists are affordable and fine examples can be acquired for much less than often thought.

We also exhibit Soviet Post War Realist Paintings and Oil sketches supplied by John Barkes, a close associate in England who has acquired the works directly from the artists in St. Petersburg, Ukraine, Crimea and Siberia.
