AGSA: THE ART GALLERY OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA

AGSA was a great little gallery with a wide ranging collection. I had a lovely time wandering through the levels and looking at the collections.

They had a great selection of Australian Art and artefacts. McCubbin, Heysen, Preston, and Cossington Smith, Klippel.

They had an exhibition called Monsters scattered through the building and in various separate collections. It was a wide and varied selection of art.

Their Islamic Art was quite remarkable and large.

The outside courtyard showcased some stunning architecture.

There was Rodin.

And some modern sculpture.

And this special exhibit by Chiharu Shiota. It was commissioned especially for the space and is called Absence Embodied. It was an amazing experience wandering around the red wool. The detail was intricate and expansive and it was incredibly comforting. It is meant to reflect the feeling of being within the womb.

A small section of Modern Art: Lucien and Camille Pissaro, Francis Bacon, Sidney Nolen.

And more sculpture.

The building, of course, was quite stunning.
