Revision as of 08:37, 23 July 2019
Pinacotheca (1967–2002) was a gallery in Melbourne, Australia. Established in 1967 by Bruce Pollard (b. 1936), it was ideologically committed to the avant-garde and represented a new generation of artists interested in post-object, conceptual and other non-traditional art forms.
History
Bruce Pollard established the Pinacotheca gallery in the ground floor of 1 Fitzroy Street, a St Kilda bayside mansion, in 1967. He relocated it to an old hat factory at 10 Waltham Place, Richmond, Melbourne in 1970. The gallery closed in 2002.[1]
Ethos
Pinacotheca was the only gallery in Melbourne showing experimental work in the late 1960s and 1970s, matched only by Sydney's Watters Gallery.[2] Its spacious accommodation in Richmond was in impression not unlike a New York SoHo loft, and possessed a similar sensibility. Its ambience was well suited to the display of large works by Peter Booth, Dale Hickey, Robert Hunter and Robert Rooney who were some of the first artists represented there, in a group exhibition.
Over its history, more than 300 artists showed at Pinacotheca, and included significant and challenging art by Australians Rosalie Gascoigne, James Gleeson, Bill Henson, Tim Johnson, Tony Tuckson and Stelarc. Ti Parks was the last artist to show there in August 2002.[3]
Legacy
Documentation and catalogues were deliberately kept to a minimum and consequently its exhibition history is limited and dates of shows only approximate.
