We will be updating each of these consistently, stay posted.

Concrete E X P A N D E D is reimagined for the Holmes à Court Gallery @ no. 10, to show most of the works that were in the original exhibition at the Holmes à Court Gallery @ Vasse Felix and supplement these with a new site specific work by Jennifer Cochrane and new works from Joshua Webb.

Concrete E X P A N D E D considers the effects of colour, design, pattern and shape through works of geometric abstraction. It takes part in a conversation about an ongoing artistic concern with Minimalist and Concrete Art in the new millennium. It playfully suggests an expansion of the genre of Concrete Art that initially had a vibrant local explosion on the streets of Fremantle in the early 2000’s.

Included are both works from the Janet Holmes à Court Collection and works from invited artists available for purchase. See our exhibitions website for details -

Other News - Recent Acquisitions

Miriam Stannage, History of Photography, 1974

We are thrilled to have recently acquired this piece for the Janet Holmes à Court Collection - a classic painting by renowned Western Australian artist Miriam Stannage. This work is from the “Kodak Slide” series. At its centre, is a window of criss-crossed writing as quoted from the text The History of Photography. Today it is a nostalgic throw back to a time when analogue photography was so central to documenting our lives.

Yuko Takahashi, Migration, 2019 (detail)

As a welcome addition to the sculptural holdings of the collection, this piece was acquired from Sculpture at Bathers, 2020. It is a exquisite flock of cranes meticulously folded out of copper. As a symbol of flight in numbers it is a fitting contrast to the current global state of stasis and isolation.

The Janet Holmes à Court Gallery is available for hire for exhibitions and events. We assess applications monthly. If you have an exciting and ambitious project, we have a space. Get in touch with Exhibitions Manager Laetitia Wilson: Laetitia.Wilson@heytesbury.com.au
