To coincide with MUMA’s 50th anniversary in 2025, MUMA is launching a publication featuring 50 significant works from its Collection, each accompanied by responses from 50 key contributors, including figures from MUMA’s history and fresh voices in contemporary art discourse.
This handbook-style index will offer diverse perspectives, reflecting on the evolution of the Collection and interrogating the writing of art history through personal, poetic, and critical lenses.
With a focus on acquisitions since 2010, the publication will re-examine how themes and movements in Australian art have been categorised. It will also include a comprehensive exhibition history and a full list of artists in the Collection.
50 Years/50 Works promises to be a pivotal resource for understanding the dynamics of Australian art and its place within a broader art historical context.
