'The field' was the inaugural exhibition for the opening of the National Gallery of Victoria in its new home on St Kilda Road, Melbourne, in 1968. It featured a selection of 74 works by artists working in Australia. After being shown at the National Gallery of Victoria, it was exhibited at the Art Gallery of New South Wales from 30 October to 24 November 1968.
