American Masters 1940–1980
National Gallery of Australia

American Masters 1940–1980 celebrates one of the greatest collections of American art outside the United States. The National Gallery of Australia's exceptional collection from the mid-twentieth century includes masterworks by artists such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, Louise Bourgeois, Lee Krasner and Andy Warhol, among many others. American Masters features both well-known paintings, such as Pollock's Blue poles, as well as many works rarely seen by Australian audiences, revealing the depth of a collection that has never before been presented as a whole.
