Gallery A Prints 1960-1970 from the estate of Cherelle Hutchinson

A collection of works on paper from the estate of Cherelle Hutchinson.

Cherelle was the wife of Max Hutchinson, founder of the avant garde Gallery A but most famous for selling Jackson Pollock's Blue Poles to the Australian Government in 1973. Terry Ingram of the Financial Review broke the story at the time.

Gallery A first opened in Hutchinson's furniture and industrial design showroom in Flinders Lane, Melbourne in 1959 before moving to South Yarra in 1962. In 1964 he expanded, opening galleries in Sydney, Canberra and in 1968, New York.

This remarkable collection of prints, dating from the 1960s–1970s, captures a transformative era that redefined contemporary art in Australia.
