  Was totally immersed in and mesmerised by the #art works at #thefieldrevisited at the #ngv #ianpottercentre #melbourne . This one “Mezzanine” , Alan Oldfield 1968, acrylic on canvas. On loan from the Newcastle Art Gallery collection. #newcastleartgallery Surprised by how many of the original works have been lost , gone missing, or destroyed by the Artist, and had to be re-created for this re-creation of the original exhibition from 1968 ( opening the NGV) . Fascinating to read a facsimile of the original catalogue as well. #colourfieldpainting #hardedgeabstraction #hardedgepainting #abstractsculpture

  This #exhibition at #ngv #melbourne is a must see for lovers of #design - esp. that of the mid 20th Century. All Donated by one person - artist John Hinds. Beautifully displayed and described. When exhibited like precious objects, as the pieces in this larger than expected show are, it is obvious how important and influential this era was in terms of design. An excellent essay on the NGV website is well worth a read too. A MODERN LIFE TABLEWARES 1930s–1980s, until January. Pictured, pieces of the “Bersa” design by #stiglindberg MODERN LIFE TABLEWARES 1930s–1980s

  Great find. #ilsolitoposto One of #melbourne ‘s hidden #laneway #italian #restaurant gems. Superb, authentic Italian dishes.

  A real must see. #grantfeatherston at #heidemuseumofmodernart #melbourne @heidemoma . Besides the stunning furniture displays are the exquisite #drawings and #sketches showing the #creative process and concept development.

  Stunning #sculptures by Troy Emery @troyemery from #exhibition “night vision” at #craftvictoria opening tonight, until 18 August. #art #craft #design #melbourne #flinderslane

  A simple, charming #artdeco design from 1914, called “Kay” from #royaldoulton 🇬🇧

  Interesting find. A large #stoneware #stentøj crock (food jar) or #krukke from #søholm #denmark - design by #einarjohansen 1960s from his EJ64 series, with the deepest of blue glazes contrasting against a matte black body.

  Stunning. #arabiafinland Ali design 1965 by #rajauosikkinen #finnishdesign
