This exhibition features "Love is a Battlefield" (2016). Beginning with the inaugural donation by Joseph Archibald in 1886, Warrnambool Art Gallery's permanent collection encompasses artworks from the 19th century to contemporary Australian art. As a whole, the collection points to the myriad social, cultural and artistic changes over the past 139 years, through the lens of a regional gallery in south-west Victoria. This exhibition celebrates iconic and well-loved works acquired and exhibited over the course of the last century. From some of the earliest paintings to enter the collection, to contemporary works made within the last decade, this exhibition considers the unique history of the gallery through some of Australia's most celebrated artists.
