Why it's worth checking out
Philip Bacon Galleries in Fortitude Valley presents Australian works of art spanning the 19th century to the present day. Its programme includes exhibitions as well as a stockroom, giving visitors more than a single show to explore and providing a way to browse the gallery’s broader artist offering.
The website lists exhibitions devoted to Fred Williams and his etchings, alongside represented artists including Davida Allen, Rick Amor, Cressida Campbell, John Olsen, Margaret Olley Estate, William Robinson Estate, Jeffrey Smart Estate, Tim Storrier, Wendy Sharpe and Michael Zavros. The examples range from landscapes and still life to portraiture and figurative work, with artists’ estates forming part of the gallery’s represented group. Some online works are identified as archive images, so the website is best used as an overview of the gallery’s artists and exhibitions rather than a guarantee that every pictured work is currently on display.
This is a considered stop for people interested in Australian art, whether visiting independently, comparing artists and periods, or looking for a gallery with both exhibition programming and a stockroom. A mailing list provides updates on artists, exhibitions and events. The gallery’s Google rating is 4.7 from 42 reviews.
Spot Score
The Spot Score is our composite of five signals — two about the venue's standing with visitors and three about how complete and current this listing is. It is not a visitor rating and not a verdict on the food or the experience. The 4.7 from 42 reviews is Google's visitor rating, shown separately and never altered by us.
