BILL HENSON: 3 decades of photography
8 January - 3 April 2005
Bill Henson is one of Australia's leading contemporary artists. His powerful and edgy photographs approach both the painterly and the cinematic, bringing together the formal and classical with the gritty, casual dramas of the everyday. This landmark exhibition is the first major survey of Bill Henson's work and includes more than 350 works from more than a dozen series since 1974.

Organised by the Art Gallery of New South Wales, touring to the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne.
