Description
The Art of Play celebrates artists who look at the world with a smile. An exhibition for the young and the young-at-heart, come discover a fantastical fountain and a gleeful tower of toys; a wrapped enigma and an invisible bird.
See the world afresh, with works by artists including John Baldessari, Mike Brown, Richard Tipping, Robert Rooney, Peter Tully and Louise Weaver.
Play embraces painting, photography, prints and sculpture from across the National Gallery of Australia's remarkable collection. This exhibition reminds us of the importance of play in an artist's practice, and in our lives.
