Art – Emisiaband

JEREMY ECCLES charts a celebratory course to taste art in the Yarra Valley.

TarraWarra Museum of Art

Healesville

Tuesday to Sunday, 11am–5pm

TarraWarra Museum of Art (TWMA) is extolled by its director, the legendary Maudie Palmer, as “the first significant museum in the country funded by private individuals”. This, of course, is in contradistinction to those who have built fine collections and donated them to public galleries — the Smorgons to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, for instance, and John Kaldor to the Art Gallery of New South Wales. In the near future, we’ll see David Walsh’s Museum of Old and New Art outside Hobart and Judith Neilson’s Contemporary Chinese collection at a newly completed artspace in inner Sydney’s Chippendale.
