The 29 works in this exhibition are all held in the Monash Gallery of Art, City of Monash Collection, one of the largest public collections of Bill Henson’s photography. With its concentration on work made between 1977 and 1992, the collection provides a significant survey of his early career. The MGA has staged this exhibition in order to celebrate the recent gift of ten gelatin silver prints from Henson’s Untitled 1977 series. This generous donation was made by James Mollison AO, through the Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts Program. While many of us are by now familiar with Henson’s images through reproduction, the opportunity to view his actual photographs offers a much richer visual experience, and a deeper appreciation of his art. Henson prints his own work by hand, using chemicals and carefully chosen paper stock. The uneven surfaces of his early black-and-white works are a result of this wet process, and give the photographs a mysterious, almost alchemic quality. These material properties are not evident in reproductions of Henson’s images. Gallery hours are: 10am - 5pm Monday to Sunday. Entry by gold coin donation. The Gallery is closed on: Good Friday, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. The Gallery is wheelchair accessible with a carpark adjacent.
