Ian Potter Gallery

We also went to the National Gallery of Victoria - Ian Potter Gallery this past week.  This gallery - located in Federation Square - houses the collection of Australian artists. Of particular interest was the aboriginal collection. While much of the art may look abstract it is actually a form of storying and recording the history of the artist and their people. Each piece tells a particular story and the colors reflect the part of Australia they are from - the red center, tropics, coast etc.

Just a few of the amazing pieces in the collection:
