The first significant exhibition of Boyds work since his death in 1999, the exhibition features rarely seen works from private Adelaide collections including the University of Adelaide and the Gallery s own notable collection, which includes Boyd s own gift of sixty-four drawings, many of which are studies for his most important paintings.
